For Granted

It’s the things we take for granted
Like the sun’s gonna rise
And I’m gonna wake up with you by my side
That you’ll have the money
And I’ll have the time
We’ll make us some babies
Move to the West Side
Isn’t that what we were dreaming of
Next to the fountain of
All things considered
Some don’t deliver
But I can’t back down
I see it so I keep reaching out
If love is for those who will wait
Long enough for the day
Why is nothing ever enough for you lover
Wait
Just wait
For a message in a bottle
That says «Get a Clue»
It’s not what you wish for
But the least you can do
So what are we trying to be
Can’t you look straight at me
All things considered
We shouldn’t be bitter
And I can’t back down
I see it so I keep reaching out
If life is for those who will wade
Through the muck and the rain
I’m keeping my head up
I’ll tread through the sweat and I’ll wait
No I can’t back down
I see it so I keep reaching out
If love is for those who will wait
Long enough for the day
I’m keeping my head up
I’ll tread through the sweat and I’ll wait
Just wait
For the things we take for granted
Like the sun’s gonna rise
And I’m gonna wake up
