lyrics

I’m totally insignificant
When it comes to cleaning up this mess
And all the time I’ve spent
Has only pushed me further up the fence

And which way do I jump?
I am baffled, torn, and out of luck
I was born stumped
I was born stumped

I’m totally lost for you again
The words they start to come, they never end
So how do I begin
To memorize the lines here within?

Of all the things to know
I can’t have the thing I want the most
I’ll try it, I suppose
I can taste the sky, it’s so close

I don’t know where I belong
Just sing the world a simple song
About the way it used to be
When we were young and innocent and free

I’m old and half-alive
I’ve been told too many lies
And I am just a passerby
I’m just passing by tonight

So before I go, tell me what it’s like
Won’t you let me know how to stay alive

I’m totally insignificant
When it comes to mending up your heart
And all the damage
That I’ve caused you is just the start

How I feel inside
Can you hear me or shall I amplify
Or fall and be cast aside?
I am young and I have lost my mind

I don’t know where I belong
Just sing the world a simple song
About the way it used to be
When we were young and innocent and free

I’m old and half-alive
I’ve been told too many lies
And I am just a passerby
I’m passing by tonight

So before I go, tell me what it’s like
Won’t you let me know how to stay alive
How to stay alive

I had a dream last night
You were my friend and everything was alright
Well, I opened my eyes to see that the dream ends

Tell me, what’s the use?
I grow weary of being the reliable excuse
So today I choose to leave you

Well, I don’t know where I belong
I sing the world a simple song
About the way it used to be
When I was young and innocent and free

I’m old and half-alive
I’ve been told too many lies
And I am just a passerby
I’m passing by tonight

So before I go, tell me what it’s like
Won’t you let me know how to stay alive
How to stay alive, alive
