The Still Life Lyrics
We took two separate paths but we didn't meet in the middle
No, sometimes it feels we're right back where we began
Disappointed at an endless world of impossibilities
and the overwhelming obstacles along the way
Facing barricades that warn do not pass
Shattered dreams like broken glass
So we shrug it all off and get by with a laugh
I take one step forward for each two steps back
I'm constantly moving but not getting anywhere
So I start running just to stay in place
We are more than what we have become
We aren't mirror images of what we're supposed to be
When I thought I had hit the bottom, you handed me a shovel
But maybe, baby we were buried from the beginning
Oh, I feel I've been digging 26 years just to get to ground level
So I climb and I climb to get to rock bottom
Sometimes I feel I'm stuck in the still life
No, sometimes it feels we're right back where we began
Disappointed at an endless world of impossibilities
and the overwhelming obstacles along the way
Facing barricades that warn do not pass
Shattered dreams like broken glass
So we shrug it all off and get by with a laugh
I take one step forward for each two steps back
I'm constantly moving but not getting anywhere
So I start running just to stay in place
We are more than what we have become
We aren't mirror images of what we're supposed to be
When I thought I had hit the bottom, you handed me a shovel
But maybe, baby we were buried from the beginning
Oh, I feel I've been digging 26 years just to get to ground level
So I climb and I climb to get to rock bottom
Sometimes I feel I'm stuck in the still life
