She - Pulley

So we trade our lives in for that fragile piece of mind

That tells us everything is gonna be ok

We work our lives away and keep our savings saved

And wait inside for a rainy day

But all that time the sun is shining

All those days are lost we convince ourselves

We need a purpose, and when it’s not too clear

Why all of us are here we follow the path that’s made for us

And we’ll sit around

And wonder what has happened to our lives

When we realize that our purpose has no purpose

That the lives we could have had we all left for dead

When we let our lives be lived for us

I once knew a girl who wanted all the world

But she settled for the simple life instead

After years of nine-to-five

That yearning feeling died she joined the ranks of the living dead

And all that time the sun was shining all her days were lost

She’d convinced herself she’d need a purpose

And when it wasn’t clear

The reason she was here she followed just like a lot of us

She sat around and wondered what had happened to her life

Everything seemed to be in such a rush

The dreams she could have had were not the ones she had

And she realized it wasn’t enough
