lyrics

All those things people say
About the gone and good old days
Just another fancy way
To show they got regrets

A life that passed them by
The hopes that all ran dry
You know time is the reason why
Only helps you to forget

Everybody's wondering if this old world's been out grown
Someday I'll get the answer, I still won't really know
I can look for better questions, sometimes it's how it goes
All I'm saving, I really only borrowed

Did I get myself misled?
Get permission to leave my bed?
Can't lead, can't get ahead
I hope I like where I am now

Still things I wanna see
Got an alert, so I can't leave
Fleeting dreams of being free
Are all this world will allow

Everybody's wondering if this old world's been out grown
Someday I'll get the answer, I still won't really know
I can look for better questions, sometimes it's how it goes
All I'm saving, I really only borrowed

And I don't have the space for the lessons I've acquired
So I hold to things I knew before
My shame don't seem to burn just tempered by the fire
Made stronger when the rain begins to pour

In the dark it's all okay
But night turns into day
It knows no other way
Than keeping me on edge

Everybody's wondering if this old world's been out grown
Someday I'll get the answer, I still won't really know
I can look for better questions, sometimes it's how it goes
All I'm saving, I really only borrowed

Chris Haise Band Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the indie/folk/rock band’s music has been described as “intense, thoughtful songcraft”* with “lyrics so vivid you can practically touch them, (Haise) is among the finer storytellers”. Each of their songs is layered with contagious hook-filled melodies while keeping true to Haise’s Dylan-esque vocals and cello-laced compositions. ... more
