Ok, listen up

There's only so much time

But hey – it's gonna be all right

I've been reading a lot of Ursula Le Guin

And thinking about suffering

And how it brings us together when love only tears us apart

Pain is stronger than love

Despite those Hollywood cliches

And what other people say

And I guess that's why we get stereotyped as bleeding hearts

But the light don't mean all that much to those who don't know dark

And you came here with nothing

And you have nothing to lose but chains

And it feels like you've been waiting your whole life

And though the whole world is crashing

And you can't make ends meet

You know that it don't matter all that much

'Cos you can always call on your friends and we

We can bitch about everything

We can put the world to rights

We could bring down the government

We could put their heads on spikes

It's hands touch

I touch the wholeness

I hold it

You pack your things into little boxes

And put them to one side

You know everything you've ever loved

Will one day be lost to time

And that sinking feeling

Oh, that sinking feeling

So put on your best dress

And go out tonight

Everything's a mess but you don't mind

And all you have is what you are

And what you give

It's hand's touch

I'm talking to you

And you know it's gonna be all right

I'm talking to you

Yeah, you know it's gonna be all right

We're here waiting on the other side

For you to come back

There's still so much, you just have to try

I'm talking to you

Oh, yeah you know it's gonna be all right

I'm talking to you

Yeah, you know it's gonna be all right

These things hurt

But you know it's gonna be all right

I'm talking to you

Yeah, you know it's gonna be all right
