Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

Where am I today?

I wish that I knew

Cause lookin' around there’s no sign of you

I don’t remember one jump or one leap

Just quiet steps away from your lead

I’m holding my heart out but clutching it too

Feeling this short of a love that we once knew

Calling this a home when it’s not even close

I’m playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage

Stumbling through the lines

Others have excuses

I have my reasons why

We get distracted by the 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

And climb high to the highest rung

To shake fists at the sky

Others have excuses

I have my reasons why

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
