Still Happy After All These Years

from Closer Than The Words by Dearest Raven

/

lyrics

Shake, shake, shake this tree of opportunity
Shake, shake, shake these hands of false humility

Where did you go when we both call it a day?
Is there a reason why you're staying away?
Nobody told me that you'd be here today
But if they did, then I'd have someone to blame

It's good to see you
After these years...

I guess it's true, when it all hangs on you
You get the weight of the world

Late, late, late, late, late or never?
These hands are far too cold, for sunny weather

Some days you find yourself reliving the past
Despite the distance is becoming so vast
They always said that this could never have last
But who'd have guess it would be over so fast?

What is a shadow
But absence of sun?
What is the point
Of everything I've become
Undone
I've undone what I've begun
What is a liar
But an absence of truth?
What is the evidence
But pulling the proof?
Undone
We've undone what we've begun

I don't want any more excuses
I've had enough of your clever ruses
You're 16 and you're covered in bruises
I'm out cause I'm borderline useless
I don't want any more nostalgia
You mistreat everybody around ya
You're 16 and you're starting to flounder
So thank God for the people around ya oh
