Lyrics: It was apparently a couple of drinks too little Sick of hope, give me more Let me drink up the light Let me drink up the light Fine people with fine problems We understand everything But we placed happiness high on the horizon, out of mind, out of sight Constantly traveling But still standing in the doorway Less concerned with the content than the packaging We're not in heaven, we're on Earth And it's not anyone's fault, but mine Life is too short and I am too much It's easier to feel the pain in my hand than the vulnerability What I lacked can't be bought I understand that But all the moments feel borrowed None of them are mine Because what I lacked can't be bought I understand that But all the moments feel borrowed None of them are mine I've really tried, tried to grow up I've really tried, tried not to do it Happiness is the very path, shabby chic Please show me that Like a portrait of a shadow I see the kids growing past me Oh, bigger, but often weaker I don't want to just be a reflection of what I see Am I a prisoner of fear? It's been a long time since I could fly All dreams came true But what's happening behind the visible eye? What I lacked can't be bought I understand that But all the moments feel borrowed None of them are mine What I lacked can't be bought I understand that But all the moments feel borrowed None of them are mine Looking at the sand dancing in the wind Making itself for the mountains and the sea Turning my head towards the sky It's so damn beautiful tonight.
