It's right in front of you
You still describe as your latest undertaking
It seems to me it's been a lifetime in the making
And somehow it won't come right
Somehow it won't come good
Somehow it won't come easy
Not that you thought it would

You're feeling tired you're feeling dissipated
This is not what you anticipated
And somehow it won't come right
Somehow it won't come good
Somehow it won't come easy
But it's there
Right in front of you

You just keep on striving
As if that were enough in itself
Why don't you stand back a bit
And consider the view of somebody else

These aren't the times for seeking perfection
You could look back upon these days with affection
When somehow it all came right
Somehow it all came good
Somehow it all came easy
Just like you knew it could
'Cause it's there
It's right in front of you
Yes it's there right in front of you
