Lyrics

Do you ever feel the forces that you have to work against
That fight you all along the way from both sides of a crooked fence
The seeds of indecision are constantly in bloom
They grow the flowers of regret in an empty low lit room
My feet were firmly planted or at least I thought they were
I tipped the cups of morning light so many things I wasn't sure
Blowing through the pages of a burning book I found
The beauty was revealed by design
So come on babe, we're getting off the dime
The second handed souls and salvation army stores
The smell of many lovers and one too many tavern doors
Addictions isolated to the closets of your mind
That abuse you and confuse you in
The hopes that you'll get left behind
But one day at a time they say that change comes from within
Trying each and every day to tell myself I'm gonna win
Stumbling way back home it's not that hard to realize
That it's just another wall I have to climb
So come on babe, we're getting off the dime
Standing by the fountain in some strange Italian dream
A sermon so confusing I can't discern just what it means
Blessed they who hunger, say blessed those who thirst
Blessed are the lost and last for they in turn will be the first
I woke up to the sounds of a construction drummer's beat
With the same old voices in my head singing me songs of defeat
Stagnant like a pool of hope in a desert filled with doubt
I'm sad and sick of all the wasted time
So come on babe, we're getting off the dime
So listen to the sounds of the city while it sleeps
It can steal the life right from your
Soul and what it takes it always keeps
The winds of understanding blew through the curtains of your faith
It's a long road you've been traveling
The struggle shows up on your face
Open up your window babe and open up your doors
And let the light of life begin to shine
So come on babe, we're getting off the dime
So come on babe, we're getting off the dime
