Lyrics[]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Just a jump away from where you wanna go
But you're too afraid of doin' it alone
So gettin' halfway there is all you've ever known
I've been down that road
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Every day is like you're playing in
A different game that you can never win
(Alone)
Hold your head up
You'll find your way home
You won't get what you give sometimes
When the dust all settles
And the smoke all clears up
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Ah, ah-ha, ah, ah-ha
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Ah, ah-ha, ah, ah-ha
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Just a search away from what you wanna find
But diggin' through the dirt won't get you diamonds every time
Seein' the sun's a good enough reason to get through the night
So close your heavy eyes
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
And every day is like a figure eight
Too impossible to navigate
(Alone)
Hold your head up
You'll find your way home
You won't get what you give sometimes
When the dust all settles
And the smoke all clears up
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Ah, ah-ha, ah, ah-ha
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Ah, ah-ha, ah, ah-ha
There's pieces of yourself you're gonna find
Maybe that's the use in trying
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Maybe that's the use in trying
