"So Much (Bright-Side Mix)" lyrics

"So Much (Bright-Side Mix)"

So much unfinished business
All sticky with desire
Raking through the empty shells
Of all the rockets we fired
Set the navigation
For the Earth all warm and wet
And as the longing drops away
The compass is reset

Oh, there's so much to aim for
You can shoot at the sun
But all of it just comes and goes
There's only so much can be done

Time slips in the mirror
As an old man, I was born
But I've grown to be a baby
With a halo and a horn
Burn up like a lightning bolt
All gone within a flash
You look around to find a home
Where the asteroid will crash

Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done

Hm-hm, hm-hm
Hm-hm, hm-hm

The body stiffens, tires and aches
In its wrinkled, blotchy skin
With each decade, more camouflage
For the wild eyed child within
Now close your eyes for a moment
Look down and look above
All the warmth inside of you
Comes from those you love

Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done

So much to aim for
Shooting up at the sun
When it all comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
So much can be done
Only so much can be done
