lyrics

I SEE A PICTURE ON A WALL
A PERFECT HOUSE BUT NOT A HOME
WE’RE OUT THE CLOSETS, INTO THE STREETS
ANOTHER DAY, A MILLION DREAMS
WITH ALL OF THE FASHION BUT NONE OF THE FAME
SOME OTHER PLACE, SOME OTHER WAY
WE’RE SKETCHY PEOPLE WITHOUT A TRACE
PERFECT FIGURES WITH NO FACE

BUT THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT FIGHT MY DREAMS
MAY BE WHAT’S HOLDING ME TOGETHER
IT’S NOT FOUND IN STARS
JUST RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT LAST FOREVER

I FOUND ALL THE PIECES, THE PUZZLE IS WON
TWO MORE FEATHERS IN MY GUN
I’M AIMING TO PLEASE NOW, BUT SHOOTING TO KILL
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER THRILL
I’M TAKING ANOTHER DRINK UNTIL I CAN’T STOP
ONE MORE VICTIM OF THE ROCK
I’M MAKING A MOVIE, ITS MAKING ME WHOLE
A PERFECT ENDING FOR THIS ROLE

BUT THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT FIGHT MY DREAMS
MAY BE WHAT’S HOLDING ME TOGETHER
IT’S NOT FOUND IN STARS
JUST RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT LAST FOREVER

IT’S ALL I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO
THE ONLY THING I KNOW THAT’S TRUE
AND I’M HOLDING ON THE BEST THAT I CAN
THE ONLY THING I GOT TO GIVE
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO LIVE
SO I’M GIVING EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE

BUT THE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT FIGHT MY DREAMS
MAY BE WHAT’S HOLDING ME TOGETHER
IT’S NOT FOUND IN STARS
JUST RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT LAST FOREVER
