lyrics

Clouds break,
release the gray, and I’m flying higher than the sun in the daytime,
Can’t be like it used to be but another day breeds a little ray of

Light...

Staring up beneath the trees,
birds of a feather It can’t get better than this,
Wading blades almost knee deep but I’ll find my way,

Need is a hungry liar, it feeds until it’s full and it’s
Never enough,
Greed is your ugly side, you take more than you give and it’s
Never enough,

Lips linger
and I can’t speak, but what would I say?
I’ll ride the waves of this beautiful thing wrapped in warm weather
It can’t get better than this,
Dark eyes and smoky breath on the other side of this feeling,

Need is a hungry liar, it feeds until it’s full and it’s
Never enough,
Greed is your ugly side, you take more than you give and it’s
Never enough,

You can’t seek us out, some places they can’t be found,
And you can’t dwell in doubt, it’s within but not without,

Need is a hungry liar, it feeds until it’s full and it’s
Never enough,
Greed is your ugly side, you take more than you give and it’s
Never enough.
