From the recording Rush to Nothing

Lyrics

RUSH TO NOTHING

You say you know what love’s supposed to be
You say you want to settle down with someone like me
You act so sure, seem so strong
But in your heart you know it’s wrong
To run and hide from what will set you free

So you chase the ghosts while you’re putting life on hold
And every day you spin your wheels, you’re just getting old
What is it you’re waiting for,
Perhaps perfection, something more?
Well, the clock is ticking and your feet are getting cold

CHORUS:
You wake up, you make up
You compromise away
Just to lessen the chances that you take
You put yourself in all the situations you can fake
So begins your rush to nothing
So begins another day

Your mirror says you’ve lost another year
While you sat around and wallowed in your fear
But still you choose to sing the blues
And count all the chances that you lose
While you’re waiting for some angel to appear

You wake up, you make up
You compromise away
Just to lessen the chances that you take
You put yourself in all the situations you can fake
So begins your rush to nothing
So begins another day

So begins your rush to nothing
So begins another day
