Boy & Bear – Part Time Believer lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've run out of reason
Losing sight of what it's supposed to be
A part time believer, till truth...

We've somehow conceded
This sense of self-evasive solitude
It means way too much to me...

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hope you know
How lucky you are

[Chorus]
Oh, I remember sitting back on my balcony
I was a-listening to the Rolling Stones
See, I was waiting for my dad to come home from work
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt

See, I was under the impression I was gonna lead
Some kind of simple, understated life
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so

Man, I hope so...

[Verse 2]
It's been way too long
It seems that I can't celebrate my meaning
For I am too young to mourn...

If it won't release
It pulls and it pushes me
Till I wither, till I whither, till I whither...

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hope you know
How lucky you are

[Chorus]
Oh, I remember sitting back on my balcony
I was a-listening to the Rolling Stones
See, I was waiting for my dad to come home from work
So I could show him all the chords that I'd learnt

See, I was under the impression I was gonna lead
Some kind of simple, understated life
But now I'm living in the shadows of a memory
And I hope so

Man, I hope so...

[Bridge]
And, oh, you dare, you run like a lion
To defend your senses
And, oh, it seems it cuts at the core
It's not the same, my friend, no more

No, no...

[Outro]
Whoa, oh oh oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh-oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh-oh oh

See, I was waiting for my dad to come home from work...
