lyrics

Norway House - Why Do I work So Hard - Lyrics
I’m bettering; I’m bettering; myself I guess; just to impress.
Someone that I, have never met; I’m bettering; myself for them.

But I don’t know how I can act so insincere.
Changing my ways so that I can appear.
Better to them; picked off the stem.

But my heart isn’t in this; I can’t make it so.
I know I should stay; but I just want to go
Don’t ask me something; that I don’t know.

What could I do? It’s up to you
Carrying me to the sea.

--------------

My head is going go to insane.
But I’m happy and amazed at how long it’s been.
This is just a never-ending dream.

Oh why; do I work so hard.

My brain is fried, I’m taking a break.
I’m happy just sit here; oh I can relate.
It’s tough, moving, from where you came.

How could you say that you know me?
How could it be – I’ve been here only.

Straightforward & clean. Classic arrangements that strike me - dare I say - Beatle-esque. Not overproduced. Eytan’s signature if you will ;<) @dutchmn007
