Some Things
--words and music by Michael Stanley

from "The Ground", 2003, LineLevel Music

Well the time's like a lover that refuses to stay
And the sun is settin' sooner every night
You could lose yourself in all the
Ones that got way
Or rage against the fading of the light...

As you stand on the deck of the ship that you sail
Praying always for the wind that you lack
You can gaze out across a sea of regrets
For the time you know you'll never get back...

		Singing, oh oh, some things are easier
		Said than done...
		Singing, oh oh, so much is easier lost than won
		Singing, oh oh, sometimes there's races
		That need to be run...
		But then again, some things have just begun
		Some things have just begun...

Well the days they don't hang on like they
Use to do
And sometimes it's getting hard holding
The turns
But you realize the journey is the only way
Only way that anybody learns
How to roll with the changes
Ride out the storm
Or a hundred other lazy clichés
Still it all seems so funny how true they all are
And how love's all that matters these days...

		Singing, oh oh, some things are easier
		Said than done...
		Singing, oh oh, so much is easier lost than won
		Singing, oh oh, sometimes there's races
		That need to be run...
		But then again, some things have just begun
		Some things have just begun...

	How can you hold on...
	When you're sure that the moment has passed
	How can you listen...
	When everyone's talking so fast
	Wait for the silence...
	And inside you'll know
	The moments they come and they go...

		Singing, oh oh, some things are easier
		Said than done...
		Singing, oh oh, so much is easier lost than won
		Singing, oh oh, sometimes there's races
		That need to be run...
		But then again, some things have just begun
		Some things have just begun...
		Some things have just begun...
		Some things have just begun...
		Some things have just begun...
		Some things have just begun...
