Words I Need Right Now

Apr 16, 2007 09:43

Wow...this feels so teenager-ish, but I'm feeling compelled to post song lyrics in my blog. Yikes. This is a song that I need right now, and I've been playing it over and over, so I thought I'd share. It's better with the music, so if you like it, buy it.

Learn to Live With What You Are
by Ben Folds

I know that you're in there
I can see you
You're saying you're okay
I don't believe you

And now that gig is up, the spell is broken
The fat lady's sung, the president has spoken
These days that you were waiting for will come and go
Like any day, just another day

There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are

So freak out if you wanna
And I'll still be here
Don't call me for years and when you do
Yeah, I'll still be here

And I'm not saying that the effort is a waste of time, but I
Just love you for the things you couldn't change, though you've tried
These hours of confusion they will soon expire like
Everything does

There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are

Sometimes everything you've ever wanted floats above
It's stickin' out its tongue and laughing while
Everything that anyone could ever need is down below
Waiting for you, know this

There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
'Cause all you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are
