"The Way We Are" lyrics

"The Way We Are"

This is where we are
We've been gazing at the stars
It's left us sleeping through the sun
Seeking solace in the calm

But this is where we are
And I can't tell us apart
Why don't we cherish what we've got?
And let go of what we're not?

But this is all love
And we've both been here before
We keep on talking, but babe we keep on talking
But this is all love
And it's what we're fighting for
We keep on talking, but babe still staying nothing

Stop searching for perfect
Now, darling, you don't have to try so hard
(So hard, so hard, so hard)
We're right when we're wrong and I'm calling
We're better off the way we are
(We are, we are, we are)

Don't you like what we've become?
Let's stop dwelling on what's done
All the ripples of the past
Have now settled down at last

But this is all love
And we've both been here before
We keep on talking, but babe we keep on talking
But this is all love
And it's what we're fighting for
We keep on talking, but babe still staying nothing

Stop searching for perfect
Now, darling, you don't have to try so hard
(So hard, so hard, so hard)
We're right when we're wrong and I'm calling
We're better off the way we are
(We are, we are, we are)

Stop searching for perfect
(When cracks begin to show)
Now, darling, you don't have to try so hard
(Don't paper over everything we know, everything we know)
(So hard, so hard, so hard)
We're right when we're wrong and I'm calling
(When cracks begin to show)
We're better off the way we are
(Don't paper over everything we know, everything we know)
(We are, we are, we are)

Better off the way we are
We keep on talking, but babe still staying nothing
(So hard, so hard, so hard)
