A Bit Of Both – Allen Stone (from “American Song Contest”)

If you look towards heaven
On any given night
You may see the stars glowing
Shining ever-bright
Are they really shining?
Or just burning in the sky
Well, maybe they’re a little bit
Of both at the same time, hah

Have you ever loved somebody
And felt so good it hurt?
But then they went running
When you dug up all their dirt
Was it only lust
Or is love also a curse?
Maybe they’re a little bit of both
In reverse

How come some days you’re living
And other days it’s death?
How come everything that’s given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don’t rhyme
Until you’re horizontal, life ain’t a straight line, yeah
Maybe we’re all a little bit of
Everything combined

Feeling like Superman
But I don’t got no cape to fly, hah
Wanna push against the atmosphere
And leave gravity defied
But is it really flying
Or is falling redefined?
Maybe it could be a bit of both
At the same time

How come some days you’re living
And other days it’s death?
How come everything we’re given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don’t rhyme
Until you’re horizontal, life ain’t a straight line, yeah
Maybe we’re all a little bit of
Everything combined

Maybe we’re a little bit of both
Everything withers after it grows
Maybe we’re a little bit of both
At the same time

How come some days you’re living
And other days it’s death?
How come everything that’s given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don’t rhyme
Until you’re horizontal, life ain’t a straight line, yeah
Maybe we’re all a little bit of
Maybe we’re all a little bit of
Maybe we’re all a little bit of
Everything combined
