People starve
Keel in pain
Begging for a bite
But whose war is it to fight?
Sweetest thing
Stomach aches
Should it ache? Should it ache?
Should a war bear his name?
Oh no but it does
And the coward shirks away
Watch the mirror, that's his face
Swallows fly
Peckers peck
Should it be? Should it be?
All as an ocean laps
Oh no but it is
And the birds all sing and laugh
Watch it come to take your hand
I think I like thinking about you now
I think I'd like having you around right now
But like anything it has its ups and downs
And I wonder, are you gonna hurt me now?
I wonder, are you gonna hurt me now?
There's always a way to be hurt, somehow
Yeah, you always can be hurt, somehow
Hills in the distance
But how many are ahead?
If I knew what I was missing
Would I just stay inside instead?
That's why I keep myself guessing
That's just about the only thing I can do
If I knew what I was missing
I'm afraid I would be frozen by the truth
That's why I'm always leaving
Leaving all them good things behind
'Cause for now I am climbing
But there's an end where I can rest for a while
Is it just trouble committing?
Or has there never been a one?
That's the trouble with living
There are two ways to live, I got one
There are too many ways to live I got one
