We sat upon your bed, you said the things you said
And I could not believe that you seem so naive
We exchanged our poetry, you seem to think a lot like me
I guess I’ll just assume that we could talk about most anything
Then I asked have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded, just like all the walls are closing in
And you were left inside, have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder, seems to be no way out!
But there is One when in doubt
Ready for another day, slowly watch ya waste away
Havin’ fun, bein’ cool, like we did in high school
Elementary romance feelin’ nervous at the dance
Crack a smile hold it down, whatever the circumstance
Sex, drugs, hadda be cool, all the things we learned in school
Typical teenage machines, anyone tell me what this means?
I could learn, I could try, never really had an alibi
Wish I did, that’s no lie, everybody’s asking
Chorus
Why?...When you feel like you can’t fly
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby
Drives ya crazy it’s not over, there’s so much more to life than this
Why?...When you feel like you can’t fly
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby
Drives ya crazy it’s not over, there’s so much more to life than this
Things seem so hallucinary, in the corner of my mind they scare me
I know ya never meant to desert me, just like ya never meant to hurt me
Then I ask have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded, just like all the walls are closing in
And you were left inside, have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder, seems to be no way out!
But there is One when in doubt
And you ask
Chorus
So much more to life than this...
