Phoebe Katis - This Is It Lyrics

Thought it would be over by now
The endless raising of a hand to get ahead of the crowd
Wishing on a star to keep us firmly on the ground
I thought it would be over by now

Thought I'd stop being this hard
On every little moment where I think I went too far
Believing I'm unworthy as I reset the bar
I thought I'd stop being this hard

I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened
Do we still find it so damn frightening
To admit
This is it

Thought I had a story to tell
Understand my time in the deepest depths of hell
Every sleepless night a blessing I can sell
I thought I had a story to tell

Thought I had a message to relay
Trust that all things missing will surely find their way
Give honesty a chance & don't expect them to stay
I thought I had a message to relay

Well I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened
Do we still find it so damn frightening
To admit

That this is it

When did I start losing the feeling
That filling my heart was all my own doing
Coming apart as I watch them leaving
Oh what I would give to be all that I need

And why did I start believing in heaven?
Telling myself that it's not for the living
Trying to get somewhere when I don't even
Know where I am right now

Oh I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened
Do we still find it so damn frightening
To admit

This is it
