lyrics

There's a certain type of man who does things a certain way
And he never means to do 'em his thoughts they just drift far away
And before he knows it
He's gotten away with it
And messed everything in his life up

There's a vague sense of triumph in trying to be what he's not
And a peculiar way of running when he discovers he's been caught
Like a stupid kid
Throwing a tantrum he thinks
He's messed everything in his life up

On his own life may seem long but he's never been one to complain
At least not anything important
He's been there before and found intentions are irrelevant
And he's never had such good intentions anyway

Ever wonder why we look at the sky and ask why are we here?
With the wind at faces we hold hands to keep each other near
Sometimes I can't help but
Cry for all creation
Cuz we messed everything in this life up.
