Trends And Phases

(album: Line In The Sand - 2013)

This is my stomping ground
These are the roads I walk home
Out here, where the streets unwind
Keeping the city lights on
Leaving's not the same as being left behind

I found my own path in life
Passed up the suit and tie
I found a way
Of escaping the 9 to 5
But to judge you on your own life
That's not for me to say
I've seen this happen before but I won't let it change me

Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
How the trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes

This is my stomping ground
And one day I'll settle down
But not for a while
Out here, where the streets unwind
And lead me to peace of mind
Away from the city lights

Leaving's not the same as being left behind
But we turn new pages in our lives

Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
How the trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes
Your eyes

City lights bring me home, the streets unwind
I found my own path to peace of mind
It's not over yet, city lights bring me home
The streets unwind and leaving's not the same
As being left behind

These days, these days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives, for spoon fed lives
These days, these days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives, for spoon fed lives

These days, these days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives
These days, these days get tough
But don't mistake love
For spoon fed lives, for spoon fed lives

Don't mistake love!
Don't mistake love!

Do whatever works for you
There's no substitute for staying true
To get you through the dark times
How the trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely know
Lord knows it'll open your eyes

[?]
It feels good to know you're staying true
It'll get you, it'll get you
And we know the trends and phases come and go
Connect with a world you barely even know
(Lord knows it'll open your eyes)
Lord knows it'll open your eyes, your eyes
