Lyrics:

Verse 1
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'll 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

Bridge
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 cant fly,
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,
Drives ya crazy, it's not over,
Theres so much more to life then this,
Why? ...
When you feel like you cant fly,
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,
Drives ya crazy it's not over,
Theres so much more to life then this

Verse 2
Things seem so hallucinary,
In the corners of my mind they scare me,
I know ya never meant to desert me,
Just like ya never really 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...
