I try to be the man you seek, sitting here not fidgeting
What you need, we both see. I don't know what's wrong with me
One day Lord, I do pray, that I'll be still and feel okay
Where we can sit and laugh and play, without you worrying about me running away again
Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say. Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say
Life's too short to live this way
I don't know what's going on, feels like I'm always on the run
I swear to you, I'll be home soon. But you and I, we know the truth
I'll be there, within your view. But still beyond the reach of you
One day Lord, I do pray, that I'll be still and feel okay
Where we can sit and laugh and play, without you worrying about me running away again
Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say. Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say
Life's too short to live this way
You beg of me, and I swear I'll change. But you get nothing but the same
If I could change the world, I'd be the man that you deserve
You hold your breath, for a wish come true, and wonder why it is you're blue
One day Lord, I do pray, that I'll be still and feel okay
We can sit and laugh and play, without you worrying about me running away again
Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say. Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you say
Life's too short to live this way
