We sat upon your bed,

You said the things you said

And I could not believe that you seem so naive

We exchanged our poetry,

You seem to think a lot like me

I'll guess I'll just assume that we could talk about most anything



Then I asked have you ever felt abandoned?

Felt so lost that you were stranded,

Just like all the walls are closing in

And you were left inside

Have you ever felt like your days were numbered?

Stuck under a tree in thunder

Seems to be no way out!

But there is One when in doubt



Ready for another day

Slowly watch ya waste away,

Havin' fun, bein' cool

Like we did in high school,

Elementary romance feelin' nervous at the dance,

Crack a smile hold it down,

Whatever the circumstance,

Sex, Drugs, Hadda be cool,

All the things we learned in school,

Typical teenage machines,

Anyone tell me what this means?

I could learn, I could try,

Never really had an alibi

Wish I did, that's no lie

Everybody's asking



[chorus]

Why?

When you feel like you cant fly

You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,

Drives ya crazy, it's not over

Theres so much more to life then this

Why?

When you feel like you cant fly

You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,

Drives ya crazy it's not over

Theres so much more to life then this



Things seem so hallucinary,

In the corners of my mind they scare me,

I know ya never meant to desert me,

Just like ya never really meant to hurt me



Then I ask have you ever felt abandoned?

Felt so lost that you were stranded,

Just like all the walls are closing in

And you were left inside

Have you ever felt like you
