So everybody\u2019s pulling you in all directions
You don\u2019t know how much longer to take it
So you\u2019ve learned how to fake it<\/p>\nThat smile on the outside\u2019s fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn\u2019t
You know something\u2019s missing
Is it your life you\u2019re not living?<\/p>\n[Chorus:]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don\u2019t like who you\u2019ve become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what\u2019s not and keep what\u2019s real
It\u2019s not too late,
Just close your eyes and feel, feel<\/p>\nYou can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re happy or sad
Can\u2019t tell the good from bad
You\u2019re senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren\u2019t you dying to start livin\u2019?<\/p>\n[Chorus]<\/p>\n
Every breath that\u2019s going through you
Take each day that\u2019s given to you
To love back the ones who love you, yeah, yeah<\/p>\n[Chorus]<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re happy or sad
Can\u2019t tell the good from the bad
Feel and stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead<\/p>\nYour heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You\u2019ve played the game for long enough, oh, no, no
Everybody\u2019s pulling you in all directions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cAn Extraordinary Life<\/a>\u201d by Asia<\/a><\/p>\n
A perfect day
Or so I say
From where
I\u2019m standing
This rollercoaster ride
Fate will decide
The ending<\/p>\nLove everlasting
Or lost on the way
The smiles
And the frowns
The ups and downs
Of fortune turning
The twists and turns
The lessons learned
The bridges burning<\/p>\nNights to remember
And never forget<\/p>\nGo, seize the day
Wake up and say
This is an
Extraordinary life
Enjoy today
Come what may
This is an
Extraordinary life<\/p>\nI gave it all
My cards have fallen
But I\u2019m still alive
And in the end
Believe my friend
I will survive<\/p>\nGlory and heartache
And some of the joy<\/p>\nGo, seize the day
Wake up and say
This is an
Extraordinary life
Enjoy today
Come what may
This is an
Extraordinary life<\/p>\nAll of the good times
and all of the bad
Responsibility is totally
Mine I know
I rightly stand accused
But I believe
That I can change
Yes
I can change my world<\/p>\nGo, seize the day
Wake up and say
This is an
Extraordinary life
Enjoy today
Come what may
This is an
Extraordinary life<\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhat can I add? There are bands from the 80s that are still going strong, or even making a comeback<\/a> with their original lineup<\/a>, and writing songs that will stop you in your tracks when you hear them on the radio.<\/p>\n
