Lyric Summer Highland Falls

They say that these are not the best of times
But they re the only times I ve ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover s eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us,
It s either sadness or euphoria...sadness or euphoria.

So we ll argue and we ll compromise and realize
That nothing s really changed.
For all our mutual experience our separate conclusions
Are the same.
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason co-exists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It s either sadness or euphoria...sadness or euphoria.

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don t fulfill each other s fantasies
And so we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our expected similarities...it s either sadness or euphoria.

(repeat last verse)
