The Way We Are Lyrics
I watch you growing
Sometimes I see myself in you
It can be scary
But kinda funny too
I hear you talking a lot of similarities
Your choice of words and all the fantasies
Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
The way you make us all smile
And the despair when you just
Won't go to sleep
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile
Still it's not really a weep
I know you fooled me a million times
I just can't help it
I don't know why
Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
I know you hate it
But they really have to do what they do
You're crying out your wishes I understand
Yet they don't have a clue
sometimes i look at lil kids even babys, see they are smilling, willing to live, breathing like nothing else matters, and i remember how i used to be...and i miss it, this song kind of expresses how i feel when i see a kid!
i love the song...is amazing...i lvoe the acustic version
I too love the acustic version! I think it's about watching someone in you family growin up, maybe a cousin, and you see how they are similar to you in many ways and know all the things they have to go through in life.
