Our Lady Peace - naveed/life текст песни

are you there, and is it comfortable?
did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
the pressure is deceiving,
and for you particularly should we let a young man die?

let him die if he wants to?
I can't live here anymore
it's hard when you reach for that floor and
and there's something that tears me inside, so I can't go

brother are you there?
now tell me is it wonderful
or were you hoping to find something a little more?

climbing down the hours I need to know now
do the hands of time only rule this chapter
i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try when I want to
there he's on his knees again
trying hard to understand
why Naveed would let a young man die
convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone
and then another day has gone

How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there?
Did anybody stare?

How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?

Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive

How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?

Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive

She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie

She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie

Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
All messed up, but we'll survive
