Counting the Ways

Things that we say
As we make our way
Down slowly is that
We're only turning the bend
Bending the rules
Loving like fools
Depending upon
Carrying on
In spite of ourselves

It's just it's so hard to bear
This new role we wear like a gown
So we keep from choosing
In fear of losing our ground

And hope for the world we once knew
With oh-so much room for us to
Disregard all of the things that we knew

Counting the ways
I've tried to say
If only alone
There's no one I've ever known
To take me so far
But then here we are
Extending our fate
Pretending it's never too late

It's just it's so hard to bear
This new role we wear like a gown
So we keep from choosing
In fear of losing our ground

And hope for the world we once knew
With oh-so much room for us to
Disregard all of the things that we knew
