lyrics

Born To Build A Life

Verse 1

I can see you and me on an island
looking out at the ocean free
When I close my eyes I imagine
how beautiful life could be

We’ve spent too long in the city
too tired too busy to embrace what we both need
a chance to breathe

Pre Chorus

We could hide behind another reason not to go
but we both know living is for now not tomorrow

Verse 2

I can see you and me in the mountains
building a home amongst the trees
every moment that passes I’m counting
down the days until we can leave

We’ve spent too long in a prison
its hard to envision but we have to still believe
in our fantasies

Chorus

We were born to life
Not stay inside and watch it pass us by
We all want nothing more than to feel alive
But we don’t so we try to synthesize

Now’s the time for us all to get away
Now’s the time to relearn how to play
Maybe one day I’ll do more than say I
Really need a holiday
