The hum of the city life
reminds me of the quiet times
that I spent when I was younger.
I kind of liked that time in life,
when my biggest fear was like a mosquito bite
but now those days are over.
-
The roads I take seem longer.
The rocks I break seem harder.

If they say that love is all we need,
then why do we chase other things

The silence on this mountain top
reminds me of the world that won't stop;
I'm staying really busy.

Walk down to that same bus stop
and drop my coin in the same coin slot,
please take me down to Main Street.
-
because I've got to make that money;
I don't want to be a nobody.

If they say that love is all we need,
then why do we chase other things?
-
Other things
Why do we chase other things?
Always chasing other things.

Chase that pride and respect that you've always wanted.
Chase that girl that will probably leave you haunted.
Chase that dream where you wake up on that beach front every sunny afternoon;
with a perfect view.
-
The view that will leave you longing,
to love on somebody.

You know; that's what it always comes back to.
So let that love leak outside of you.
If they say that love is all we need,
then why do we chase other things?
