Seek Up
Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews

Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again

Oh, life it seems a struggle between
what we see and what we do
I'm not going to change my ways
just to please you or appease you
Look at this crowd, five billion proud
willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us falls
it's with a mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, God knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
Things you have corrected
Well, in the end it all piles up so tall
that one day nothing one day nothing at all

Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up on emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You're looking for a monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, Ha ha, ha ha

(Say, oh say)

Late at night with TV's hungry child
his belly swells
Well, for the price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes
Man, take a look again, take a look again
take a look again
Every day things change
But basically they stay the same

Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion
and your cup is overflowing
Yeah, yeah
You seek up an emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
Yeah, yeah
You're seeking up a monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going, Ha ha, ha ha

Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again
