"Desert Land" lyrics

I've been collecting my habits, going strain to strain
And you're just letting it roll off in your precious way
I guess I'd rather be honest
Call it by its name
I'm over here thinking why we've gotta name and shame

Grains in the hour glass, gonna keep you walking in a desert land
If there's a way to make it with a steady hand
Then I'd like to try it if you think that we can

Sometimes we're gonna disagree
But don't let it stop you loving me
When the scale is on the tipping edge
Hard times will never stay away
Let's just worry about today
Well, I'm bound to do it all again

In a world full of critics you are mine to find
It's only fair we get to enjoy each others prime
When all the chaos and madness finally subsides
Were we laughing or crying
I know at least we were trying

Sometimes we're gonna disagree
But don't let it stop you loving me
When the scale is on the tipping edge
Hard times will never stay away
Let's just worry about today
I'm bound to do it all again

Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Grains in the hour glass, gonna keep you walking in a desert land
If there's a way to make it with a steady hand
I'd like to try it if you think that we can
