lyrics

Life gets real tough sometimes I know
I’ve walked to the end of the line a few times myself
For myself gotta give me my best chance
I know the work isn’t done here yet

Hard to make sense in a senseless world
Wearing the weight of it all takes its toll
Oh I know I’ve felt that burden too
I gotta do all I can do

It could have worked out other ways
It could have worked out other ways
Spinning in circles far too fast to catch my step
It could have worked out other ways

An unreal light you shone bright on the coldest of nights
Real big dreams to change the world for us all
Oh I recall singing songs late at night with you
Making plans in that Toronto hotel room

It could have worked out other ways
It could have worked out other ways
Spinning in circles far too fast to catch my step
To catch my breath

It could have worked out other ways
It could have worked out other ways
Spinning in circles far too fast to catch my step
I wish it had worked out another way
It could have worked out other ways
