I’m done convincing you
What about the things you do
I thought we’d build a life for two
What about the things you do
I’m done with existential woes
And the seasons come and go
Seems like the architecture’s wrong
But I know that I can carry on
When I stop, and I see
This mess in front of me
Nevermind that I lost my mind
Finally put the pieces
And build something
Hold on tight, play it right
‘Til I find my way
I don’t know how to play this game
And I know I can’t afford the shame
Seems like it all went up in flames
Seems like I gotta start all over
When I stop, and I see
This mess in front of me
Nevermind that I lost my mind
Finally put the pieces
And build something
Hold on tight, it’s alright
‘Til I find my way
Oh say, can’t you see
What this new normal means
Nevermind
Lost my way
Cry hail, Mary
For the life
For the life, for the life of me
