From the recording THE VINES
Lyrics
I saw the road evaporate, crumble to dust
Though it was gone I whispered hallelujah
Feverish pursuit of something more taken for granted
Given gold, and yet I said
Another time another place another reason to hesitate
Why did you try? Why did you wait?
There’s nothing better than running in place
Re-joice
We rejoice
Why did I have to choose? Bigger things are coming soon
What did I have to lose? Other than you
I got Stuck in the vines couldn't continue to climb
I got lost in the vines someone will come somebody will mind
We rejoice! in multitude
Maybe there's a greater gloom
give it up you're done you're through
Calm yourself give it a rest for your sake and mine
Though I'm sure you did your best ooh you compromised
Stable-stumble down the stairs fell and hit your head
Mom and dad are so damn proud of your accomplishments
Ohh too bad looks like you've been had
Don't react smile and pretend
They don't understand it's not quite the end
Frivolous pursuit, trade your stars but forgot the moon
Ohh don't you cry or don't you whine you had the method you had the time
But I got stuck in the vines no one cares no one minds
Got lost in the vines dream deferred, dream denied
Re-Joice
We rejoice
Re-Joice
We Rejoice
