Torn Lyrics

Felt like we tapped the source, but, we strayed off course

And all our lofty dreams

Were blown to smithereens

Lets dance a while, we're on borrowed time now

But the way I feel

This beautiful delusion could be real

Music has always been my drug, and my first love

My soul, my fix, my mistress

My muse, my attitude

The meaning in my life

You and I we yielded to... family expectations

We took the same straight path they'd walked for generations

We played our hearts out but were overcome by fear

Silenced artist switches gears

I can feel you now, rushing thru my veins, taking away my pain

I wonder why we ever said goodbye

You and I were compromised by my struggle for position

We weighed the odds, couldn't go with blind ambition

Could've had a wild ride, but we chose to play it safe

But - You and I will always play....

But I heard Da Vinci saying "there's more to life than calculating"

And Brian May was saying "there's more to life than star gazing"

Could've sworn I heard Ghandi saying:

"There's more to life than litigating

Let the dreams you've buried re-awaken

The path not taken's out there waiting"

So if you're feelin' sad about what might've been

Feeling torn again

Time for one more dance

And cheers, to fate

To the path you choose

'Cause win or lose

It's all just an illusion in the end

You and I we yielded to… family obligations

Took the straight and narrow path they'd walked for generations

But I do appreciate these paths you've let me take, 'cause

This schizophrenic life's not short on inspiration

'Cause your music speaks to me I know we'll get our chance

Yeah, you and I will always dance
