lyrics

The Lingering On
(Searching for the cosmic soul)
It's like I was living in a dream
It's like I was living in a dream
Oh what are these dreams? And what do they mean?
It's like I was living in a dream

...And all the people who defined you
Linger on to remind you
Of where you’ve been and are meant to be
And you can’t help but look around
At all the hearts in the lost and found
But you’ll be stronger if you repeat after me
Oh love don’t hurt me anymore
Seems like we’ve all been through this before
Oh love don’t hurt me anymore
Seems like we’ve all been through this before

Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me

And finding community is a necessity
To avoid chaotic tendencies
For it can be so hard to go through life alone
And though family can be a nightmare
Don’t you ever forget how you got here
And keep in mind that some of us don’t have the luxury of returning home
Oh how I was dying to live
But I got so much left to give
Oh how I was dying to live
But I got so much left to give

Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh we’re not here to be united in our suffering
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Oh don’t make me wonder what’s wrong with me
Don’t make me wonder

Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
Lost my direction, but saw my reflection
