We Go On - The Normals

I took the long way home

But it led to the same apartment

Where no one’s paid the phone bill

And no one really cares

When will that road

Go somewhere beautiful

And somewhere safe?

'Cause around here everybody’s

Trying to find someone to be

Every guy’s trying to find respect

In the eyes of a girl

Who just wants to be loved

We’re children playing with guns

Children playing with hearts

And we go on

We drive out of the city

Sometimes you’ve just got to leave

And scream out at the dark night

Hoping we believe what we believe

Cause it all seems too simple

And it all seems too wild

And our question grow in number

And their answers loom with fear

But still we ask and we trust you

Because you’ve held us here

With chains of grace and longing

Longing to be loved and longing to be known

And we go on

All this reaching, still no grasping

Faith is there but time is passing

Are the answers in the asking

Where the weak become the strong?

All I want is to be someone

All I want it to be real

All I want is to feel alive

All I want is to be with you

I don’t know what I think that means

I want an awful lot it seems

And we go on
