Intro = verse 1st half
Verse 1:
Where am I today? I wish that I knew,
Cause looking around there s no sign of you.
I don t remember one jump or one leap,
()
Just quiet steps away from your lead.
Verse 2:
I m holding my heart out but clutching it too,
Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew.
I m calling this home when it s not even close,
Playing the role with nerves left exposed.
Chorus 1:
Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines.
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why.
Verse 3:
We get distracted by dreams of our own,
But nobody s happy while feeling alone,
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall,
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall.
Chorus 2:
And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky.
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why.
Bridge:
With so much deception it s hard not to wander away,
It s hard not to wander away,
It s hard not to wander away.
