Lies They Tell Themselves

VERSE 1
Lies they tell themselves 
I want you, I want you 
Lies they tell themselves now 
Oh dreamt of the land part with the sea 
 Lies they tell themselves enclosed in, my head 
Lies they tell themselves 
Won’t be clean anymore, now that we’re here 

CHORUS 
Why can’t we dance with one another 
In a world so full of joy and full of light 
Why can’t we trust one another
In simple matters, what matters is life 

VERSE 2 
Lies they tell themselves 
What fortune surrounds us
Lies they tell themselves
Light shines on us blind, exposes our flaws  
Lies they tell themselves
Without you without you 
Lies they tell themselves
Oh how far we come from where did we fall 

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Lies they tell themselves 
I want you,I want you 
Lies they tell themselves now 
Oh dreamt of the land part with the sea

CHORUS

Lies Tell Themselves

Running on those busy city sidewalks 
listening to the music you were fond of
all in sync with the rhythm of my stride
A faster pace now following the footsteps 
of business men with faces full of tension
showing the marks of age, from time.

And I feel like I am free
from this life that's surrounding me
for a moment I can be
a part of you and you a part of me

I grow less intrigued by little side notes
I'm wanting more with each and every morsel
craving attention, that can't be described. 
I wake each morning song birds out my window
singing all the words but not the right tune
I seek your memory to shield their cries

And I feel like I am free
from this life that's surrounding me
for a moment I can be
a part of you and you a part of me

Hopes in time will linger with our passion
fall in sync in fairytale fashion 
don't wake me from this new daydream of mine.

And I feel like I am free
from this life that's surrounding me
for a moment I can be
a part of you and you a part of me


Part Of Me
