This man climbs another step and wonders if his life is worth the living
He hasn't done much of
Deny any notion that emotion may be token for nostalgia
A gesture all the same
He's got his private wars just like the million other wars
That keep you and I from getting where we both belong
Both belong
'Cause I see you makin' eyes at yourself again
Shaking hands with invisible friends
Lookin' round for encouragement
No, not me I'm just hanging
Hanging round for a new thrill
'Cause I'm tired of the old one
And I can't be the only one whose in line for some sunshine
Yeaaaah
Maybe you're a tough one but your love has long forgotten how
To scratch its way inside your guarded heart
One day you'll realize that nothing stems from nothing and
Go write a book
That no one ever reads
You've got your private wars just like the million other wars
That keep you and I from getting where we both belong
Both belong
'Cause I see you makin' eyes at yourself again
Shaking hands with invisible friends
Lookin' round for encouragement
No, not me I'm just hanging
Hanging round for a new thrill
'Cause I'm tired of the old one
And I can't be the only one whose in line for some sunshine
Eh-eh-eh
Don't try to understand
Or offer your gentle hand
(Freestyle)
'Cause you are not alone
In wonderin' how you got so far
From home
When every memory you own is begging for your time
And you're running out of sand
As you clutch the feeble hands
And embrace the day refered to as the past
And I see you makin' eyes at yourself again
Shaking hands with invisible friends
Lookin' round for encouragement
No, not me I'm just hanging
Hanging round for a new thrill
'Cause I'm tired of the old one
And I can't be the only one whose in line for some sunshine
