lyrics

They told me climb a mountain to find myself,
But the incline's getting steeper, and my soul's not any deeper
I think of all my friends and I count my wealth
If this is such a land of plenty, why's our cupboard always empty?
Perspective's detrimental to your good health
We could just get drunk at the weekend, and try to get some sleep in
But you deserve more than to be on the shelf
Let's create the bigger picture
Take on time and be the victors

It's all too much.

Hey, stop there
Say that again, just talk to me
We weren't made for 2010, that's plain to see
Paper tigers may tell you, you should face your enemies
Live your life how you want to and embrace some mystery.

Take my hand, we can start this over

And fly to somewhere where no-one knows our names
Where I can sing songs by the roadside
Bleach our past out with peroxide
Lately things have started to look the same
This place is too familiar, I so want for us to feel
Some sense of reverence, of wonder for where we rest
Sit by the coast, watch the sunset,
Think of all that hasn't come yet.
If you say you want to, I'll try my best
Darling, I've no call to doubt you,
It wouldn't mean a thing without you.

It's all too much.

Hey, stop there
Say that again, just talk to me
We weren't made for 2010, that's plain to see
Paper tigers may tell you, we should face our enemies
We'll start a life in Toronto and erase our history.

Just pack your bags and we'll leave,
Take my hand, we can start this over.
