The Truth Songtext

The Truth Songtext
I was barely walking when my father said to me
Son your taste for talking in the end will set you free
I grew up outside the city
Still can′t sleep hearing traffic
I've had a good life but still wish I was 16 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth
No they don't really know about you, you
No they don′t really know about you, you
Yet
I used to smoke and drink cheap wine
Always dreamed of a better life
But I have to fight, fight
We have to fight, fight
For what we love
Forever talking
I thought this is the life for me
Son, he told me, saying nothing
Often is the bigger man′s belief
I still live outside the city
Love the peace and the quiet
I've had a good life but still wish I was 17 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth
No they don′t really know about you, you
No they don't really know about you, you
Yet
Oh yet
Live your life for something
Save your heart for loving
Ghosts in your head
Are wild but nothing you should change
Be you
If your mind is searching
When your eyes are open
Dance in the light
The truth is knowing you face the world
And they don′t really know about you
No they don't really know about you
I used to smoke and drink cheap wine
Always dreamed of a better life
But I have to fight, fight
We have to fight, fight
For what we love
For what we love is seldom free
I thought this is the life for me
I grew up outside the city
Still can't sleep hearing traffic
I′ve had a good life but still wish I was 18 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth
No they don′t really know about you, you
No they don't really know about you, you
Yet
Oh yet
Live your life for something
Save your heart for loving
Ghosts in your head
Are wild but nothing you should change
Be you
If your mind is searching
When your eyes are open
Dance in the light
The truth is knowing you face the world
And they don′t really know about
Anything past everything you are
Or ever tried to be
The simple task of getting far is hard
When they don't know about you
Anything past everything you are
Or ever tried to be
The simple task of getting far is hard
When they don′t know about you yet
Son your taste for talking in the end will set you free
I grew up outside the city
Still can′t sleep hearing traffic
I've had a good life but still wish I was 16 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth
No they don't really know about you, you
No they don′t really know about you, you
Yet
I used to smoke and drink cheap wine
Always dreamed of a better life
But I have to fight, fight
We have to fight, fight
For what we love
Forever talking
I thought this is the life for me
Son, he told me, saying nothing
Often is the bigger man′s belief
I still live outside the city
Love the peace and the quiet
I've had a good life but still wish I was 17 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth
No they don′t really know about you, you
No they don't really know about you, you
Yet
Oh yet
Live your life for something
Save your heart for loving
Ghosts in your head
Are wild but nothing you should change
Be you
If your mind is searching
When your eyes are open
Dance in the light
The truth is knowing you face the world
And they don′t really know about you
No they don't really know about you
I used to smoke and drink cheap wine
Always dreamed of a better life
But I have to fight, fight
We have to fight, fight
For what we love
For what we love is seldom free
I thought this is the life for me

Still can't sleep hearing traffic
I′ve had a good life but still wish I was 18 again
My mother tells me I′m a dreamer on a mission
Ain't that the truth

No they don't really know about you, you

Oh yet
Live your life for something
Save your heart for loving
Ghosts in your head

Be you
If your mind is searching
When your eyes are open
Dance in the light
The truth is knowing you face the world
And they don′t really know about
Anything past everything you are
Or ever tried to be
The simple task of getting far is hard
When they don't know about you
Anything past everything you are
Or ever tried to be
The simple task of getting far is hard
When they don′t know about you yet
