Not What You Think It Is

(album: Postcards And Daydreaming - 2005)

You would think that keeping up would be easier
Living large and living strange
Bend yourself
Summer time it always seems to come creeping up
Keep in mind I want it to

You're cold and you're tired
You're hurt and you're sad
For all that you've given
For all that you've had

It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is

You would think that living large and living well would wear you down and wear you thin
And where you're gone don't you know I'm grumpy when the time is right and time is on my side
Baby you could fix me up I could do the same to you and maybe sometime soon
We can spend some time alone and talk about the things we should talk about

Tell me 'bout the time when everything's a mess
Tell me 'bout the time I haven't heard it yet
'Bout the time tell me 'bout the time tell me 'bout the time

Cause all you need is time
You're cold and you're tired
Things just aren't well
You're frightful of strangers
Scared of yourself

It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is

Well you're strung out when there's hell to pay
Well you're holding out for some better day
And your feet are inspired
When you need some fresh air your finger's on fire
Release it all there

It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it might be now
It's not what you think it is

It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
No no no no
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it might be now
It is not what you think it is
No no no no...
