I don’t believe the news anymore

Too many decisions are getting made when I’m not around

I believe in karma—don’t believe in dogma

And when tree falls I think it makes a sound

And I believe in the lines around your smile as you grow older

And I believe in the way you look at me back across your shoulder

‘Cause if it’s worth the distance, then it’s worth the waiting

Though the hour’s getting late

The day ain’t nearly over

I don’t believe in promises—too much pressure

You end up owning things you never meant to keep

And I don’t know if dreams reveal your deepest feelings

I just know I feel tired and then I go to sleep

And I believe in the lines around your smile as you grow older

And I believe in the way you look at me back across your shoulder

‘Cause if it’s worth the distance, then it’s worth the waiting

Though the hour’s getting late

The day ain’t nearly over

Seems like I’ve been polishing my fear like the barrel of a gun

Maybe I’ve been wasting all these years and the fight has just begun

I don’t believe in war—too much destruction

You know pain is pain no matter the name in which it’s done

I don’t believe in numbers--they give too many answers

All I know is you’re the only one

And I believe in the lines around your smile as you grow older

And I believe in the way you look at me back across your shoulder

‘Cause if it’s worth the distance, then it’s worth the waiting

Though the hour’s getting late

The day ain’t nearly over
