Lyrics The Joys of Living - Sharks

The Joys of Living

You took advice from a stranger in a stereo
You follow your heart, you break a heart
But please don’t feel you have to
Time is ours to kill once we find the joys of living
The lives we were born to live in
A division of the heart and mind
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie
And all of a sudden you begin to realize
That there are often several different angles to certain things in life
The temptations of another way will be forced upon themselves, they hear out
The disfigure of a past age will not be tamed, I hear out
And I chose to deal with it through a self-centered perspective
It’s the easiest way but believe me, it’s for the best
Sometimes I feel I’m not trying hard enough;
sometimes I try too hard
And all of a sudden I begin to realize
That all along there was someone in there
Someone else I could have saved
