There You Go
The Church Lyrics

If you think that light's too pretty for you
If you feel like you don't deserve something good or beautiful

You should step outside your skin for a moment or two
You should try to change your perspective and see things from a different point of view

Desert winds come howling down empty boulevards
The harsh realities of life can feel like a storm that sweeps through and leaves nothing in its wake

Blowing like sick minstrels when the dust is too hot
Leaving only a negative and empty feeling behind

You thought you were a stranger in your opportunity clothes
You feel like an imposter or that you don't belong even when you are presented with great opportunities

But the sun makes it all hazy and it doesn't half show
But sometimes things can look different than they really are, and the glare of success can obscure the truth

You thought you were an actor with an amusing part
You thought you were in control and playing the role you were meant to, but in reality, you were just a small part of a bigger production

You danced the bossanova with your celluloid heart
You moved through life with a sense of detachment, as though you were watching yourself from afar instead of truly participating

You looked into the mirror and laughed at your face
You don't take yourself too seriously and find humor in your own flaws

Someone else was watching and handling your case
Others are impacted by your choices and the way you present yourself, even when you don't realize it

You think that it's easy with the drugs and guitars
You believe that certain things like fame, drugs, or music are the keys to a carefree and easy life

You like to be backstage and in the star's car
You enjoy the perks of success and being on the inside of a select group

Summertime, oblivious through noise and the heat
When things are going well, it's easy to tune out the world and just soak up the good vibes and positive energy

Crowded room where you can't find your feet
But sometimes too much of a good thing can be overwhelming and disorienting

All the seals are broken at a quarter to two
When things start to fall apart, it usually happens suddenly and often at a time when you least expect it

But you don't even recognize who you're taking to
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, it can be hard to know who to trust or rely on

When they said you're ready, you took a swing
When others told you that you were prepared or equipped for something, you went for it with everything you had

But it was empty, you didn't hit a thing
But sometimes even when you think you're ready and fully committed, you still come up short or fail to achieve your desired outcome

When they said you're ready, you hung on tight
But you won't give up or let go easily, determined to keep pursuing your goals

But balance is elusive as you run down the night
But balancing everything and keeping it all together can feel impossible, especially when it seems like time is running out

Don't throw away your tickets yet, there's probably more
Don't give up hope or abandon your dreams, because there could still be more to come

You just never know what you're hanging in for
You don't always know what the future holds or how your current struggles will play out, but it's important to keep pushing forward

Everybody told you, you're the one in the know
Everyone has high expectations for you, and they believe that you have the knowledge or talent to succeed

So that's the way, let's do it, there you go
So keep moving forward with confidence and determination, knowing that you are capable of achieving great things

There you go
Keep moving forward

There you go
Stay focused on your goals

There you go
Don't give up

There you go
Keep pushing forward
