This Is Going To Stop

lyrics

We began with our hearts and our minds open wide
We were filled with ambition, we could take on the world if we tried
Told ourselves we would make it come rain or come shine
Told ourselves we were fearless, and we believed it most of the time

We said we'd never let the hard times bring us down
We would go round each road block in this crazy town
Back then it never crossed my mind at all
That this was going to stop
This is going to stop

We got used to the feel of the dice in our hands
Yeah, you win some and lose some, everybody understands
But I can always find something to worry about
Trying to make a living in the shadow of a doubt

And you'd say, "it's all right, sleep tight, dream the night away
Tomorrow the sun will rise and bring a brand new day"
But what if the morning shows the writing on the wall
That says this is going to stop?
This is going to stop

And it's so damn hard, this road is so long
My radio plays the same old song
It's all I ever think about these days
It's the one thing I can't stop

....I don't know how much longer I can go on
I get so tired, and I'm feeling like all our hope is gone
But I've got to keep moving along or I'll drown
I try to look like I'm up when in fact, I am sinking down

And you say "keep your head up, don't let up, it'll be okay
And then when our ship comes in we'll all sail away"
But what if it never ever comes at all,
And this is still going to stop?
Either way
This is going to stop
