Lyrics

I stand in the light most every day
But the rain falls down, and penetrates my skin
I’ll fight just to hear the words you say
I will play the game, and live my life again

The way that I am, I’m living for nothing
Waiting for real life to come along
Tomorrow will thrill me, today just fills me
But I’m doing fine

I’ll look to the west and back again
But the TV man, tells me where I am
I know that I’m just a grain of sand
I’m washed away, by the tide of who I am

Why, why do we lie
Pretend it’s just game
Don’t wait for tomorrow’s dawn
Open the door, and say I’m alive again

The way that I am, I’m living for nothing
Waiting for real life to come along
Tomorrow will thrill me, today just fills me
But I’m doing fine
The way that am I’m living for nothing
The way that I am

Wiping the mirror clean
Living for nothing
Reflections aren’t always real
Living for nothing

The way that I am, I’m living for nothing
Waiting for real life to come along
Tomorrow will thrill me, today just fills me
But I’m doing fine
The way that am, I’m living for nothing
The way that I am, I’m doing fine
The way that am, I’m living for nothing
The way that I am
