Level 42 - The Hit Combination lyrics

I'm not proud, I was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard

Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love

Tell me something
Why do I always find it hard
Just to get along
Try my best for nothing
Every little thing I do is wrong

Feel it in my brain
Driving me insane
Round and round
The same old tune

Daddy's on the phone
You know you're not alone
Turn that down
And clean up your room

Sons and daughters
(Don't fall in)
In hot water
Sons and daughters
(They don't do)
What they oughta

Hey hey, we keep it running in the family
Hey hey, we keep it coming in the family

Looking back, it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With Joseph and Emily
We only see so far
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back, it's so bizarre

I keep to myself
What I might share with others
But they don't seem to understand
I open my mouth
To rediscover
That I don't have the words at my command

Holding out
For a world so much better
But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land
All my friends have sold out
Couldn't handle the pressure
Counting their blessings
Trying to salvage what they can

Children say, children say
We open our minds as one
But one more day slips away
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

How, how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby, so right
I wouldn't be without you, baby, tonight

Children say, children say

Way up high above the sky
All that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue
There's a place for people too
It's time for us to go

We have time
(In my dreams)
Time and space
While we're young
(Floating free)
We can chase
To the stars
