about

"Getting Too Serious" takes us away from the pressures of city living to the redemption offered by a trip to the coast. If the pressure gets too much we can press ‘pause’ and start again “I guess this’ll be my millionth brand new start”. By letting go of the ‘if onlys’ of regret, we can embrace the healing power of hope.

lyrics

Getting Too Serious

1)
Got to get out of this cold, damp city, been
Up all night and the sight’s not pretty
Got to get away to see the sea again, the
One solution is to run away
Assault my wounds in a cold sea spray, and
Take the time to ease my mind of pain


CHORUS 1
It’s been getting too serious
Nobody’s laughing no more
It’s getting too serious
I don’t know what we’re doing this for
It’s very mysterious
Me I’m just running away
Because nothing’s that serious no matter what anyone says


2)
Just to breathe clean air and feel alive is
No big deal just a 2 hour drive, the
Radio’s playing and the DJ says it’s alright (alright)
The face in the mirror looks back at me, says
“There’s No way out that I can see
Let’s run away to sea to see the sights”


CHORUS 2
Because nothing’s that serious
We’re living in a crazy dream
No nothing’s that serious
And nothing is what it seems
It’s very mysterious
Me I’m just running away
Because nothing’s that serious no matter what anyone says

3)
I’ll play the machines and stop being abused
I still get beaten but call it amused
Guess this’ll be my millionth brand new start
And if it don’t work again this time
It’s no big deal and no big crime
Ain’t no reason to tear myself apart

CHORUS 1

4)
One hard laugh and one soft smile
One stolen kiss on a golden mile
One good friend and a never ending day
One last look but not behind
It’s never been worth whatever you’d find
When you break the ring you throw everything away

CHORUS 2

Because nothing’s that serious
We’re living in a crazy dream
No nothing’s that serious
And nothing is what it seems
It’s very mysterious
Me I’m just running away
Because nothing’s that serious no matter what anyone says
