The Joys of Living Lyrics

You took advice from a stranger in a stereo.
You follow your heart, you break a heart,
But please don't feel you have to.
Time is ours to kill once we find the joys of living
The lives we were born to live in.
A division of the heart and mind.
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie.
And all of a sudden you begin to realize
That there are often several different angles to certain things in life.
The temptations of another way will be forced upon themselves, they hear out.

The disfigure of a past age will not be tamed, I hear out.
And I chose to deal with it through a self-centered perspective.
It's the easiest way but believe me, it's for the best.
Sometimes I feel I'm not trying hard enough; sometimes I try too hard.
And all of a sudden I begin to realize
That all along there was someone in there,
Someone else I could have saved.
