just believe
You’re living with your friends in their little tiny house,
you’re looking to get out and set everybody free,
you’re just waiting for that cash that you need.
And all the trees they’re blowing everywhere,
you live close to the beach but you’re never, ever there,
you don’t know what the value of it is.
You picked up a book and you read it for the joy,
you wondered if it might provide some insight to your life,
just read on you might be surprised.
And rent’s so high there are people struggling for their lives ,
the people on the street you pass and never look twice.
It’s hard to be calm when the storm is coming faster than you can run.
Just don’t give up.
She thought that she had found a boy that she could love forever,
but then the time came and you had to leave her,
let her know that it’s your one regret.
Now the cold air, oh, it touches you, and the chill settles in,
it’s only looking for a warm place to live,
it just so happens you are too.
Clever little anecdotes in every single song,
repeated imagery, with subtle undertones,
it’s music that sets your pace of life.
And rent’s so high there are people struggling for their lives,
the people on the street you pass and never look twice.
It’s hard to be calm when the storm is coming faster than you can run.
Just don’t give up.
You moved out west to be some kind of star,
to play your heart out to the crowd, and though it’s hard to be found,
you will find all you need,
and don’t worry you’ll be there eventually,
and don’t worry you’ll get there just believe.
