IN OUR OWN WAY

Copyright 2012 – Robert E. Shandor

 

You and I have something good together
Let’s make sure we help it to stay
We can make this last forever, baby
If we don’t get in our own way

 

We don’t need to fix things that aren’t broken
I don’t know why we’d even try
When you start to analyze what you love
It’s like tryin’ to sweep the tide

 

Everybody tells me that they want to live and let live, and
Everybody tells me that they need to run their own race
Why then is it when you look around you that you see
So many people traveling at someone else’s pace?

 

We have always done right by each other
I don’t see why this needs to change
Lets just keep our wits about us, baby
We don’t need to make things get strange

 

It is said that too much truth might just be
More than we can bear to hear, but
There’s one truth you’ll want me to tell you, and
That one truth is I want you near

 

Everybody tells me that they want to live and let live, and
Everybody tells me that they need to run their own race
Why then is it when you look around you that you see
So many people traveling at someone else’s pace?

 

You and I have something good together
If we don’t get in our own way
We can make this last forever, baby
If we don’t get in our own way
