Long Story Short

from Stages by Jon Porobil

lyrics

Walk awhile in the woods without a compass and you're bound to drift
Wait below the water in a three piece suit and you'll never lift
You learn a lot about the life you're living when you get a priceless gift
And turn it down

Find me running, eyes closed, hoping that my feet stay on the path
Weathermen, waiting for their cues, chew erasers while they do the math
Waiting for the moment they can forecast Hell and Heaven's wrath
Upon their town

We need to believe
In ourselves when we're weak
When we stumble and fall
We get to decide
How hard we will fight
If we’re fighting at all

Long story short
It's a wonder I'm here

Anyone who's ever felt the breeze of a sword
That barely missed
Anybody suddenly inspired to begin
Their bucket list
Nothing but a waste of force to
Ricochet your fist
Against the ground

We need to believe
In ourselves when we're weak
When we stumble and fall
We get to decide
How hard we will fight
If we’re fighting at all

Long story short
It's a wonder I'm here

Long story short
It's a wonder we’re here
