Again we struggle with our past
Ya see, every now and then
Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare
It suits you more than anyone will admit
So tried and true, we plow right through
You see, no one likes a quitter
We try to stare it in the eye
So, drop your hat and sit for awhile
They never make much sense
And get straight down to it
But I decided that I care
I'm not sleepin'
And I'll get right down to it
'Cause there's something in the air
And no one seems to care
Most questions that get answered
And I said I've stopped sleepin'
And hope it's worth the while
But I decided that I care
They never make much sense
Well, I like it when you sit
With tears behind our smile
And pray that it won't last
I'm doin' now the best that I can
You've got a lot of explaining that you do
I told myself I'd never close my eyes again
Most questions that get answered
It makes us, oh, so bitter
It's funny how we fool them
