Yael Naim - Stupid Goal lyrics

sometimes i'm feeling like i'm chasing after stupid goals
this time i'm feeling like i'm ready to give up and fall
some say the reason why we suffer is the same for all
this time i'm willing to let the healing get inside my soul
stupid goal

if i was wise, i'd see for myself
i'd close my eyes and try to rest
so if i die, i'll see the faces of people waving from above
still wanting to reach some stupid goal

someday you'll finally get to see that you are beautiful
you play, and everyday you're feeling more empty and droll
why lie, if suddenly you're feeling like you lose control
so you sigh, you cry, still everyday you're chasing after stupid goals
stupid goals

if i was wise, I'd see for myself
i'd close my eyes and try to rest
so if i die, i'll see the faces of people waving from above
still wanting to reach some stupid goal

i don't want to keep on chasing after things
like everything should go my way
hoping that at last, i've forgiven my past
just when everything has gone astray

boy don't you see the lie, we'll be running till we die
keep on walking till one day
i could no longer ignore, that i'm feeling insecure
when i try to get some more, and to force it to go my way

still want to reach some stars above
you've given me all i've hoped from love
i'm hoping it will last
but it goes too fast
when i choose my ways to stupid goals
