WISHING OUR LIVES AWAY ©

Words and Music

Longing for things that never were                                    
Hoping for something that we know for sure                            
Wishing our lives away                                        

Waiting for a better day                                            
Not knowing what to do or what to say                                
Holding our dreams at bay                                        

I could never tell what was on your mind                                
What you were thinking or why you were crying                            
I pleaded but you never did say                                    

Day by day, year by year                                        
Charging around ignoring our fears                                
Pretending all is well come what may
