You say what you say 
And pray that one day 
You'll be seen between the shadows 
 
Now, that's a waste of your pain 
Living your life like a saint 
When it don't, no, it don't even matter 
 
Even saints 
Make their mistakes 
Letting their dreams fall and break 
Oh, it feels like living in sunshine 
With the shades pulled down 
 
Now I want you to see 
How good life can be 
You can turn it around 
Better your life with the good times found 
 
People will always take the long way around 
Before you know it you'll be lost and found 
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down 
People will always take the long way around 
 
I'm not afraid of pride 
When it's for the right side 
Don't betray what I believe in 
Stand where you must stand 
And I'll believe when I can 
Because I'm telling you now 
I've been where you're living 
 
Will tomorrow keep it's promise 
No one here can say 
The past is all behind us 
All we have is today 
And all we have is today 
 
People will always take the long way around 
Before you know it you'll be lost and found 
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down 
People will always take the long way around
