lyrics

Everyday I wake up late.
Since I quit my day job I have been sane.
But responsibilities sure do remain, but I'll just let them wait.

Because I don't know what I am doing now,
And I won't try to act like it cus I sure don't know how.
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going
on this long and winding road
that's taking me to what will be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
And I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do and what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through,
but just remember what's right for me, might be not right for you.

Staring at this mirror and I'm wondering who you are.
Right now is a time for searching and I just wish I had a car
to drive a long distance and just think about the war,
and how life's got so much more.
Because I don't know what I am doing now,
and I won't try to act like it cus I sure don't know how.
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going
on this long and winding road
that's taking me to what will be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
and I will be just what I need to believe
that something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do,
and what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through...
But I know what I want to do, and I want it to be true.
And yeah I'd be the first to say that of course I'll listen to you,
but remember what's right for me, might be not right for you.
