These Games We Play

Come on in and drink my wine
Come on in and play your game
Ten years of run and hide and you’re still the same
Take a look inside my soul
Take another piece of me
Feels bad, but I’m still glad for the company

CHORUS
These games we play
I never found the time ever more than I’m today
We carry on
Until we can lay it down and, oh
The story can move along

Make a joke at my expense
Make a claim to be so wise
Know you can’t play your fear through another’s eyes
Tell me what I ought to know
Tell me what I ought to do
And I’ll throw it down the wishin’ well, wishing well for you

CHORUS

I said another wave passes
We got to show what we can do
The tide is coming over
With the weight of all the world on you

Nothing more that I can be
Nothing more that can give
Can’t find a way to say it’s okay to live
So shake your hand and make your peace
Shake a tail and make your way
But I can’t keep your silence safe for another day

CHORUS
