Sometimes good intentions
don't come across so well
Get me anazlying everything
that aint worth thinkin' 'bout
Just 'cause I ain't lived through
the same hand that was dealt to you
doesn't make me any less, or make any more of you
I wouldn't trade my best day
so you could validate
all your fears
and if I've only got one shot
won't waste it on a shadow box
I'll stand right here
Well its all talk talk talk
talkin' in the wind
it only slows you down if you start listenin'
and it's a whole lot harder to shine
than undermine
yeah, undermine
The first mile is always harder
when you're leavin' what you know
won't blame you if you stay here waving to me as I go
Always wish the best for you
Thought that you would see me through
my wildest dreams
yeah, the ones you thought I'd never make
Still you would trade your best day
just to have your way
all these years
And if you only had one shot
maybe all this talk
would disappear
it's all talk talk talk
talkin' in the wind
it only slows you down if you start listenin'
and it's a whole lot harder to shine
than undermine
ya undermine
it's a whole lot harder to shine
and it's a whole lot harder to shine
than undermine
ya undermine
sometimes good intentions
don't come accross so well
The line that really strikes me in this song is "it's a whole lot harder to shine than undermine" ... I've known so many people like that in my life... Rather than work hard to make themselves actually better (shine), it's easier to tear down (undermine) everyone else around them to make themselves "seem" better in comparison. So sad.
