Schwa Lyrics

Lyricist: Eric Sargent / Derek Donohue
Vocalist: Eric Sargent

Have you been chasing 
Attention from the world
Well I’m trying to get away
From living out my life 
As a story
Every minute every day
Spending every moment
As the you that you create
Let me tell you darling
You ain’t carrying the weight
Living in a picture
(That) the real world
Doesn’t imitate

And you don’t know being lonely
Until you’ve been alone
And you don’t know what being home means
Until you’ve found a home
Goes to show that it’s only
The thing we need the most
So come on over and know me
Until I fade into a ghost

Every day you wake to do 
A million things for you
When you need someone
I’d leave it all
Just to have someone to call
When I got trouble
All those things you said
Than no one ever read
Lost in the… chatter
Words we speak alone
To the folks we’ve always known
Are all that matter

Chorus

We all get lost
Looking for the answers to  
To the questions 
Weighing on the brain
When you’re tossed aside 
By another rising tide
Where will you find 
Shelter from the rain

Every day’s another chance
To get it right again
So let’s start trying today
Out in the real
You don’t have to feel
A million miles away
Live your life in person
With your selected few
Let me tell you something
Nothing else is gonna do
Ask anyone 
It’s the things you done
That make your story true

Chorus
