Sheik, Duncan - Reasons For Living Lyrics






Everyone's looking, everyone hides
Everyone's telling everyone lies
We're changing the subject, we're turning away
Away from the heart of it all

You say you are happy, do you think this is fun?
Well, it's only a firefly to the light of the sun
You say this is living, you feel so alive
Well, you know everything dies

Even my wonder, even my fear
Only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far
It flows through the heart of us

Welcome to another day
It don't seem that different 'cause nothing has changed
Try to remember, try to remember
When we were just running in place

Reasons for living, never come cheap
But even your best ones can put me to sleep
What I am saying or trying to say
Is that there must be a better way

Even my wonder, even my fear
Only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far
It flows through the heart of us

It's already in you, it's already there
You may disagree but I don't really care
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out
What's at the heart of us?
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out
What's at the heart?

Tell me all your wildest dreams
You don't really care, you don't know what they mean
Raiding the closets, skeleton keys
You know it's easier than you think

Even my wonder, even my fear
Only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far
It flows through the heart of us

Reasons for living are all very fine
Leaving me cold though they're not really mine
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out
What's at the heart of us?
I don't know, I don't know

Sheik, Duncan Reasons For Living Comments
  1. M.... B....

    Duncan Sheik "The Soundtrack Atmospheric Singer Songwriter", so many gems, it all started here for me... Still heavy rotation, and I'm an older man, 56 years old, it's December 1st, 2019, I don't listen to music to the degree I once did... But still Sade, The Sundays, Rickie Lee Jones, and Duncan Sheik, I can listen to for these artists rest of my days...

    Duncan Sheik is arrogant and pompous if you meet him in person. He's a talented song-writer and musician, but not a good person.

    A.... A....

    That makes me sad to hear.Someone that can write words like him,knows love.Maybe he puts on a front because in his buisness you get eaten alive for showing any weakness.Or it could be he,is as big of an ass, as he is tender.You know, complete Jekyll Hyde thing lol.

    @V Nette Believe me, it hurts me constantly. As much as I'd like to dislike him and his music...I can't. I absolutely love the guys music. He was just so vile to me that I'm still in shock years later. But you might have a different experience if you meet him, so don't let it get you down. He just personally disliked me for no reason...and it cut deep.
