Bittersweet
Come turn the TV off and sit here by me
The day fades away from us in shades of what could be
Was it hard, was this day the kind that brought you anger?
Did the news of the world instill some hopeless languor?
Life runs away from me without a whisper
It goes by even though I’m such an endless resister
Why the smile, have you found a way to slow life’s river?
Does it show? I don’t know if I’m a taker or giver?
Life’s become so bittersweet
Laughter mixed with sorrow
Life’s become so bittersweet
As today becomes tomorrow
Though we try to reason out what’s coming and going
it just seems like there’s always something to keep us from knowing
So we try just to make each moment last forever
Like Peter Pan, we’re creating lands of never, never
Life’s become so bittersweet
Sunlight chasing shadow
Life’s become so bittersweet
And you know it’s hard to let go
