lyrics

Everybody has a story they go on telling although nobody thinks it’s funny
Everybody has a reason to go on living when life gets tough
Everybody has an answer to all your problems when all you want is sympathy
Everybody is a loser, sometimes in life when they go too far

We spend our seconds waiting to up the score
And fill the world up with sound-bytes and schemes
But maybe instead of searching for something more
We should be searching for something in between

Everybody wants to wake up and know their feet are still pointing in the right direction
Everybody wants a love that transcends the continuum of space and time
Everybody wants a moment to stand up and hear the applause for what they are doing
Everybody wants a secret that nobody knows about how great they are

We spend our seconds waiting to up the score
And fill the world up with sound-bytes and schemes

We should be searching for something in between

Sometimes when you’re on a wire you think up things you didn’t think of before
And sometimes when your house is on fire you find out what you really love more

Everybody feels rejected sometimes when they are the one left in the corner
Everybody feels nostalgic sometimes when they hear a song they’ve sung before
Everybody feels creative sometimes in the night when they walk round in circles and
Everybody gets these feelings but we stick them in the cupboard and we shut the door

We spend our seconds waiting to up the score
And fill the world up with sound-bytes and schemes
But maybe instead of searching for something more
We should be searching for something

We spend our whole lives waiting to up the score
And fill the world up with sound-bytes and schemes
But maybe instead of searching for something more
We’ll find it waiting somewhere in between

There’s so much there in that world outside
If you keep your eyes peeled and open wide
It won’t be about if you lose or win
If you only remember to take it all in
