Chase the Battle

from Left for Better by The Local Strangers

lyrics

© A. Zoli, 2012 (ASCAP)

When it all began you were young and humble,
Not looking for a fight
But as time’s gone on and you you’ve paid your dues
On the stage every night
You’ve been looking for the answers
That you know do not exist
And you can’t say you didn’t want this

Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
When one struggle ends you’re already looking for another one to begin
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle

Would you trade it all to release the burden
That you so dear?
All the noise and furry, hushed and humbled
All the silent fears
That you’ll never be what they want
Or be good enough
But you know, you’d crave it if you gave it up

Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
When one struggle ends you’re already looking for another one to begin
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle

And I say, that’s not my way to live
Life’s too short, to waste time hating
You get what you get and what you got is this
You've just gotta try, you just gotta try
To make the best of it

Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
When one struggle ends you’re already looking for another one to begin
Why you gotta chase, chase the battle
