20,000 Dollars Lyrics by Henning Ohlenbusch

Looks Like I’m Tall

0

Everyone I know is 20,000 dollars away from happiness
Or so they claim
And every time you go, I can think of a thousand reasons to stay here with me
I won't say please
I won't say please
You can make the same mistake every single day
And every chance you get to take, you let slip away
And you can tell them if they ask that I stayed home tonight
And you can tell them if you like, that everything's all right
Everyone I know tells me that they're waiting for something, but they don't know what
Or so they claim
Or so they claim
You can make the same mistake every single day
And every chance you get to take, you let slip away
And you can tell them if they ask that I stayed home tonight
And you can tell them if you like, that everything's all right
Everyone I know
Nightly Progression
This nightly progression is breaking my heart
You end up so different than the way you start
And all your laughing leaves me cold
Because, to me, it's regression
It's the loss of a friend
Your good conversation is now pointless
And all your laughing leaves me cold
And all we ever want is more
And all we ever get is the same
And all we ever want is a chance
And all we get are chances
And all we ever really do is stand and stare in the smoky air
There's not a whole lot happening
But there's a whole lot of talking
Do you know that you're becoming the same person you're mocking?
It's gradual and then it's shocking and it leaves you old
And all we ever want is more
And all we ever get is the same
And all we ever want is a chance
And all we get are chances
And all we ever really do is stand and stare in the smoky air
And all we ever want is more
And all we ever get is the same
And all we ever want is a chance
And all we get are chances
And all we ever really do is stand and stare in the smoky air
