still i resist

daybreak

a lovely morning

a chance for heaven

like the dawn of time

but no

when my eyes open

i see a mountain

i see a long uphill climb

and even though i know

it all begins by letting go

still i resist

still i resist

must be crazy

think i'm joe frazier

fighting each moment

as if i could win

big surprise

where does it get me

same old frustration

same old place i've always been

in books of truth i read

what life brings is what i need

still i resist

still i resist

ooh what i've missed

the wind moves

the night air

the leaves fall

they don't care why

i feel that

i get it

so why don't

i let it fly - fly

but me

i got opinions

i got to nail it

nail it all down

it's no good

it's like nailing down water

life is a liquid

rolling through town

through town

i'm just a frightened boy

and when it's time to take my joy

still i resist

still i resist

ooh what i've missed

the wind moves

the night air

the leaves fall

they don't care why

but i care why

i care

i know that

i get it

it's so hard

to let it fly

and let it go by

yeah me

and all those brilliant opinions

always having to nail it

nail every damn thing down

it's no good

wanna put down this hammer

love is a liquid

and i wanna drown

ooh please

let me exhale now

and if i fail now

at least i'll know i tried

i tried

i tried
