scared to live
Walk into the lightning of a midnight bulletin Our brave new world sits smiling with egg on its chin And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow We stopped making love in the hours of daylight, too many moons ago  But now that we've given all we have to give Maybe we're just scared to live  Since I go so blinkered to nothin' else but you I've been playing for each cheap reward, like game show gluttons do And love's the honest truth, babe And love's such a beautiful lie So don't look so confused honey, know it's true tonight  Now that I've given all I have to give Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live  Why can't I wake up and make something of my life? Why can't I wake up to this life?  How can you have no faith in this your own home town? Can't you practice a little discretion, play the whole thing down? And since you got so blinkered to the highs and lows of a hopeless thing Maybe you can take this heart and pass it on to him  Now that I've given all I have to give Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live  Maybe you can take this heart Maybe you can take this heart and pass it on to him
