I make my way by inches and degrees That make up a forest of too many trees Seems like every time I try There’s something there to stop me
I only back down when there’s something to lose One foot can sometimes be better than two And if I jump across the fence There’s nothing there to catch me
Chorus: I try to tell you what I’m thinking But it flies back in my face Words come out different Meanings are shifted And my intentions take new shapes
Turning me backwards Lifting me upwards Drop me in my place
Wherever that is Whatever that means Whatever difference it makes
Could it be that you don’t understand me? I doubt myself sometimes, never, always And I don’t feel like holding out Cause I’m too tired for this time
(Chorus) I make resolutions; I won't back down Then comes a rainstorm, and I hit the ground But the sun’s shining right now Take me away awhile
(Chorus) Wherever that is (Turning me backward, lifting me upward) Whatever that means (Turning me backward, lifting me upward) Whatever difference it makes…
