Charade Songtext
von Jaco Jaco

Set and forget it
Reality has made it′s bet
Held me up and hung me upside down
I should've known that
I′m only getting older
But a number sure can lie
It's the keeping on that really matters more

The way is through it
No use in keeping score
I don't wanna live like that
By debts and measures
I′m only like the weather changing
It′s the keeping on that really matters more

Tear this charade all down


Can't fake a profit
Your number′s all made up
Nothin in this world feels real to me
Your silver locket
Rattles in my pocket
That glimmer in your eye
Keeps me coming back and wanting more

I shoulda known that
You're always keeping score
See I don′t need to live like that
Need simple pleasures
I'm like a dog that needs chasing
It′s the keeping on that really matters more

I'm no longer trying hard to see
No longer waiting
You can try and get it through to me
A new beginning
I'm no longer trying hard to be
I′m tired of wanting more

Isolation kills your patience
In the age of contemplation
