Your significant other as your focus

lyrics

Some time after failure has hit you again
And you can’t keep on working for art or for pleasure
‘Cause indulging yourself just doesn’t hold your interest
And there’s not much to know that doesn’t keep fading

After your aims have been thoroughly trounced
And you don’t really think they were worthwhile anyway
You’ll be looking for something to fill up that hole
Something worth waking up for

Do what I do
Praise be to you
I live only for love enduring

There’s nothing in this world but you
Nothing in my world but you
I’m betting all my energy
That you won’t be wrong for me

There’s nothing in my world but you
Nothing left but me and you
Nothing left to motivate or even make me real

I don’t think you’ll go for posterity
It’s not worth it
I don’t think you’ll put all your stakes on your friends
Though that’s a little closer to the heart
I know you can’t stomach some Jesus or goddess,
And immersion in politics is like dining with idiots
Something that can’t be kept up long

I know you want money, but not that much
I know you can’t feel with a casual touch
You’ve got no addictions I know of
So, baby, please consider me

After the madness of now goes away
Whatever you do and whenever you pray
And even if you never feel as crummy as I often do

I live only for love endearing
