Song information
Artist: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists Album: Hearts Of Oak
Lyrics
Oceans lay between us and the things we think we need But I've known many who would gladly swim to get to where you are Always more together than the ones you think are better off But darling, o one's made it half as far And it's so hard And I know how hard And I know how hard to pursue When you're just not breaking through But don't you let them tell you that you're wrong You're either thinning like helm But you're still overwhelmed by all the painting left to do Everything's calm in the half-light of dawn But the morning will bring no peace 'Coz you'll never be done with the work you've begun Even in moments of relief Grapling with time And the mercury line as the afternoon sun gets hot And you'll always be far from the things that you are 'Coz there's so much that you're not So move it around, check your depth with a sounding Your map reference against the stars And your work and your home Like your clothes, are your own, like your skin and like your scars I told you they've had power all along So dont you let you tell you that you're wrong
