Shine

I'm quite concerned
It takes a beer to get me talking
On anything of consequence these days

I'm quite concerned
That the man I am becoming
Is the fool my mother said she didn't raise

I'm well aware
Of the apathy inside me
How my television curls me like a cat

I'd like a cause
Like to find a few convictions
Nevermind, someone else went up to bat

But I read somewhere at any given moment
Half the earth is covered in clouds
Perfect in design, hanging in the balance
Of this half-and-half skyline

There is hope in the forecast
One day we're under shadow
One day we're bound to shine
We're bound to shine

I'm quite concerned
That the ladder I've been climbing
Takes me straight to the top of a dog pile

What a view
With no one there to share it
Get me a drink, let me sink to the bottom for a while

But I read somewhere at any given moment
Half the earth is covered in clouds
Perfect in design, hanging in the balance
Of this half-and-half skyline

There is hope in the forecast
One day we're under shadow
One day we're bound to shine
One day we're bound to shine

Come September, come October
Come the clouds in the sky
I believe there's a better half
There's a second act nearby

Come November, come December
Let the winter rip through
May the spring bring nothing
But blue

I'm quite concerned
That the fuel that keeps us going
Are just fears that won't subside once we've arrived

Run, run away
Never eye that rearview mirror
You will find what you left behind survived

But I read somewhere at any given moment
Half the earth is covered in clouds
Perfect in design, hanging in the balance
Of this half-and-half skyline

There is hope in the forecast
One day we're under shadow
One day we're bound to shine
We're bound to shine

We're bound to shine
