We all appreciate you being round here
But there’s really nothing much that you can do
We all appreciate you being round here
But there’s just not always room for two
We’re alright
We’re ok
And it’s always been this way
Everywhere I go, everything I see
Doesn’t always lead to prosperity

Always looking for a place to stay
But never feeling free to stay another day
But that's no excuse
There's nothing left to say
Realize that I've been hanging on
To an enormous wire that has just begun to unravel
But don't grab your gun
Just hold on
People ask me how I pull it off
How I've become the man they've all been dreaming of
And I answer
"It's nothing, just some luck"
Everybody's getting high on music I've been tripping on
Insanity has won, since sanity's been gone
So now I stand here singing to a bigger crowd than last night
I guess I should be really proud and I am
And that's where it goes wrong
'cause when you start to think that you have done the job
There's nothing left but starting with a brand new song that's still good
But nothing better than before
And still everybody's getting high on music I've been tripping on
Insanity has won, since sanity's been gone

So I’ll wait for you
Till your office puts me through
There’s stuff to do
While you keep me waiting, keep frustrating me
Take your time my dear
In the morning I’m still here
My feet are sore
But they’ve been before and even more
All this time I’ve been concerned about myself
But in the mean time I got lost
Haven’t you heard that it shouldn’t be this hard
Or are we supposed to choke
Somewhere in between
What could be and might have been
Us two I mean
Like a movie scene
Where the actors hide behind their broken hearts
All this time I’ve been concerned about myself
But in the mean time I got lost
Haven’t you heard that it shouldn’t be this hard
Or are we supposed to choke

I was born in 1969
Or a couple years later
I never thought I’d be ending up right here
But I guess I was wrong
There’s a chance that everything will be alright
There’s a chance it’ll all be fine
But there’s this slight, slight chance I won’t make it home alive
There’s a chance that I might fuck up
Ending up alone and stuck up
Singing out “I will survive”
I was born in 1969
Or a couple years later
But first some coffee and another cigarette
Before I try to move on
'cause there’s a chance that everything will be alright
And we'll probably be fine
But there’s this slight, slight chance I won’t make it home alive
There’s a chance that I might fuck up
Ending up alone and stuck up
Singing out “I will survive”
So I’ll be gone before you know it
I will hit the brakes before it shows
So I won’t have to hear you tell me afterwards
“Better off this way”
Yes I blew it, but hey, that’s the way I do it
And I never had complaints up till today

Whatever the hell you’re thinking of me
Whatever the hell that I’ve done wrong
Whatever the hell you’re asking of me
I’m not getting it in if it’s not on
Whenever the hell you’re dreaming of me
Whenever the hell you’ve come undone
Whenever the hell you're on top of me, hanging above me
I’m not getting it in if it’s not on
We’re out in the sun
We’re out in the pouring rain
And ‘till a second ago I thought we had it all
There’s nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to hide away
We’re asking how and where and why it all went wrong
Consider the fact that you might love me
Consider the fact you might be wrong
Consider the night your best friend told me "just hold me"
But she's not letting it in if it’s not on
We’re out in the sun
We’re out in the pouring rain
And ‘till a second ago I thought we had it all
There’s nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to hide away
We’re asking how and where and why it all went wrong
