I want to help you to see things my way
But time is an issue, we only have a few short days

You've gotta feel the up-side of the down
Don't be fooled by all the lights and sounds
Everyone has felt the way you're feeling right now

For too long, too long with no safe place to fall
This isn't easy either said or done
It's easiest to turn your back and run

Change is a virtue if you can see things new ways
And fear never hurt you
But it keeps you in the same place

You need to know the inside and the out
Of everything you know that matters now
Everyone has felt the way you're feeling now
The chance has come and gone

For too long, too long - had no safe place to fall
This isn't easier either said or done
It's easiest if never done at all
Too far, it's too far for a fall
This isn't easy either said or done
It's easiest to turn your back and run

Can there be an up-side to the down'
I know you'll never see this working out now
'cause you've been running for far too long

This isn't easy either said or done
But something must be done before you're gone
