Common Culture - Taking Hold Lyrics

Should I be scared cos to tell the truth I'm terrified
It hides behind the shadow of a smile
You should take care of yourself my son or you might find
The lines might take you there before your time

These should be the best years of our lives
It's time to feel alive
Wasted days down in the basin of our youth
Chasing the high
Life is a lesson but I left my pen at home
And hit the road
And I can feel it taking hold
So you better go

I'm not a liar or a cheat
I won't repeat the keys I keep
Locked in a box inside my head
I think I'll hit the bar instead
Of taking this all out on you
I'll tell you when the time is right

These should be the best years of our lives
It's time to feel alive
Wasted days down in the basin of our youth
Chasing the high
Life is a lesson but I left my pen at home
And hit the road
And I can feel it taking hold
So you better go

I've put the smiles on the faces
Of some people I don't know
I felt the tears running of your cheek
And I couldn't stop them flow
And if the road is rough ahead then
Maybe we could go by boat
I'll stop at nothing cos I'm telling you
I feel it taking hold

These should be the best years of our lives
It's time to feel alive
Wasted days down in the basin of our youth
Chasing the high
Life is a lesson but I left my pen at home
And hit the road
And I can feel it taking hold

These should be the best years of our lives
It's time to feel alive
Wasted days down in the basin of our youth
Chasing the high
Life is a lesson but I left my pen at home
And hit the road
And I can feel it taking hold
So you better go
