lyrics

Nothing we ever want
Is all that we ever get
Nothing can ever shake
the weight of the world

Open up the blinds
let the afternoon sun in
pick up the pieces of last night

where are all my friends
my money and my strength
there is so much I have lost.

If someone asked me,
what I wanted most
I’d ask for happiness

They say that money cannot buy me what I need
But it can buy me another try

Nothing we ever want
Is all that we ever get
Nothing can ever shake
the weight of the world

I feel like a fake
just trying to get by
when I need to pay the rent

I’m in my fathers shoes
like a child playing house
As if this is all a joke

When he was my age
was he any worse?
It’s unbelievable

I’m all grown up
Now I am an adult
this caught me so off-guard

Nothing we ever want
Is all that we ever get
Nothing can ever shake
the weight of the world

Nothing we save will last
and nothing we build won’t fall
and nothing we ever share
will save our lives

how far can we take
these fragile bodies till they break
I guess we’ll find out soon
I guess we’ll find out soon

If someone asked me
what I wanted most
I’d ask for happiness
