Its never really good enough
When are you gonna give it your all
Frustrated and I cant concentrate
Im dragging around all this weight all this weight

But Ive heard laughter in the distance
So strange and far away
Ive heard laugher in the distance
So very strange and far away

Im trying to keep a tender heart and be headstrong
Im trying to keep my faith this is where I belong
The hours go by me like the breath I breathe
No closer in the world to where I need to be but maybe to me

But Ive heard laughter in the distance
So strange and far away
Ive heard laugher in the distance
So very strange and far away

But Ive seen the way people push and shove to get ahead of me
Do I just sit back
I don't think their world is where I want to be

There never any guarantees for those people who are free
Its hard to get by and it hurts to have dreams
Feels like Im losing pieces of me can anyone see me
The hours go be me like the breath I breathe
No closer in the world to where I need to be but maybe to me

But Ive heard laughter in the distance
So strange and far away
Ive heard laugher in the distance
So very strange and far away
