Standing in the Way of Love Lyrics

So you feel like you've been bought and sold

And it's hard to see how little you've grown

When the habits always stick around

In the same old job, in the same old town

You take one step forward and two drinks down

You know every face in every crowd

But there's not even one to reach out to

When you're looking for someone to see you through

Standing in the way of love

You'd better find a way out of this rut

Don't be distracted by another's approach

When the path is clear, you'll know

I'll be standing by to watch you grow

You've always been one of the lucky boys

Not a problem using charm and poise

Still it's making you go insane

How hard you're covering up your pain

It's like one step forward, two bad nights

Then you find yourself on the other side

With a moral hangover, a wasted night

An empty wallet and a bad black eye

Standing in the way of love

You'd better find a way out of this rut

Don't be distracted by another's approach

When the path is clear, you'll know

Every night takes a different life

Every life holds a different knife

And every knife will cut your life

Will blow your mind

And if you're standing in the way of love

You'd better find a way out of this rut

Don't be distracted by another's approach

When the path is clear, you'll know

Standing in the way of love

You'd better find a way out of this rut

Don't be distracted by another's approach

When the path is clear, you'll know

I'll be standing by to watch you grow
