Songtext zu 'I've Been Thinking Too Hard' von Yellow Days

We can do all kinds of physical things
Trying to find that peace that the world is seeking
But it will still be elusive, because everything that is elusive is transitory
And the only thing that is not transitory in man is his own soul

I try to see between the lines
Try not to keep the spirit confined
Let it feel sunshine
It turns out the sun's gone and I don't know what is going on here

I have been trapped in mind
My own mind, no escape I can find
You know I can't let go
(Yeah, ooh)

I, I've been thinking to hard
I was lost from the start
That's a great to-be mood
I, I've been thinking to hard
It's a dangerous part that I've been to (yeah)

I, I don't know what's right anymore
The sea flighted and the rain poured
I'm conditioned to survive
Just I need to be alive
I've got intuition on my side
Just to ease that paranoid mind
I've cried tears ocean-wide
Just to ease that pain inside (ohh, yeah)

I, I've been thinking too hard
I was lost from the start
That's a great to-be mood
I, I've been thinking too hard
It's a dangerous part that I've been to (yeah)

Now, you see if you want to live
In a way that always is saying: I think that life is disgusting
Supposing you want to deny being
Or that uh, people who um, like music are a bunch of idiots
Who sit around and go out of there minds listening to a lot of complicated noises
See there's always a way to go about taking about something to make it sound terrible
Equally there is a way of talking about something to make it sound great
Now what do you want to do?
Do you want to live your life in such a way
That you're always saying to it: Hmm, hmm, yeah
You want to- is that a good way to conduct things?
Or do you want to live your life in a way that you, you, you say: C'mon, let's go!
You see? Let's, let's, let's, let's swing the thing
