So we trade our lives in for that fragile piece of

Mind that tells us everything is gonna be ok

We work our lives away

And keep our savings saved

And wait inside for a rainy day

But all that time the sun is shining

All those days are lost we convince ourselves

We need a purpose

And when it's not too clear why all of us are

Here we follow the path that's made for us

And we'll sit around and wonder what has

Happened to our lives when we realize that

Our purpose has no purpose

That the lives we could have had we all left

For dead when we let our lives be lived for us

I once knew a girl who wanted all the world but

She settled for the simple life instead

After years of nine-to-five

That yearning feeling died she joined

The ranks of the living dead

And all that time the sun was shining

All her days were lost she'd convinced herself

She'd need a purpose

And when it wasn't clear

The reason she was here

She followed just like a lot of us

She sat around and wondered

What had happened to her life

Everything seemed to be in such a rush

The dreams she could have had

Were not the ones she had

And she realized it wasn't enough

She sat around and wondered

What had happened to her life

Everything seemed to be in such a rush

The dreams she could have had were

Not the ones she had

And she realized it wasn't enough
