When I See Pigs Fly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Trying to get to sleep You're solving a mystery The answers are far away And they'll never see the light of day [Pre-Chorus] And the voice is getting loud Self-pity and doubt And part of you is proud But you won't get over But you try, but you try, but you try [Chorus] Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part [Post-Chorus] But either way you got to play your part [Verse 2] So long as the sun exists To cast shadows on ourselves The shadow has all to tell For which we have such a bitter need [Pre-Chorus] To look at every turn We're never gonna learn It's always gonna hurt And we won't get over But we try, but we try, but we try [Chorus] Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part [Hook] And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part [Verse 3] Always to run away You call it a holiday You see your surroundings change But then you feel such a bitter need [Pre-Chorus] To look at your own worth Can't blame it on the world And no one but yourself And you won't get over But you try, but you try, but you try [Bridge] Stop taking it out on all those around You're letting it roll straight back down You're trying to push that rock back up the hill [Chorus] Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part [Hook] And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part [Outro] But either way you got to play your part But either way you got to play your part
