Lyrics

You're so frustrating
You keep me up all night and
Sometimes I think I've gone insane
Cause here I am now
Back on the road to you and
I guess I just can't stay away
But lately I've been thinking this is probably not the time and
This is probably not the place
But there is something that keeps telling me that down the line there
Will come a time we'll cross our ways

Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say...The Words and....

I've kept wondering
Why I've been sticking round and
Am I just asking for some pain
But I believe in all you are
Though I think you're crazy
I'd stand beside you anyway
But for a while it's time to carry on and not look backwards
Until you're there in front of me
And if and when that moment comes to leave us standing speechless
Well then I guess it's meant to be...to be and

Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say...The Words and...

This living, and breathing, and taking in this life and
This dreaming and doing, becoming all we might
And in letting go of what holds us back
Forgetting regretting to learn from the past
There will come a time when all this will come together
Someday and...someday

Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say...The Words to say
The Words to Say
The Words to say.....
