Unreleased demo with alternate lyrics.
| Music: | Elton John |
| Lyrics: | Bernie Taupin |
I guess you're okay
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey
You know that it's true
You shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose
You shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose
And it's not about the way you live
It's just the way you crawl back sometimes
Come on take a walk with me
Satisfied is just a state of mind
It's just the way you crawl back sometimes
Come on take a walk with me
Satisfied is just a state of mind
chorus:
No one ever wanted more from life for you
But the pieces of this puzzle never fit
You take what you can get and say that it's the best
But it's a long way from happiness
You take what you can get and say that it's the best
But it's a long way from happiness
But the pieces of this puzzle never fit
You take what you can get and say that it's the best
But it's a long way from happiness
You take what you can get and say that it's the best
But it's a long way from happiness
You know that you're young
You think you know where you belong
you're tougher than the rest
You've lost as many battles as you've won
You think you know where you belong
you're tougher than the rest
You've lost as many battles as you've won
I'm one step behind
Looking out for you all the time
I put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
Looking out for you all the time
I put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
And it's not about the way you live
It's just the way you crawl back sometimes
Come on take a walk with me
Satisfied is just a state of mind
It's just the way you crawl back sometimes
Come on take a walk with me
Satisfied is just a state of mind
(repeat chorus)
