Lyrics
0:19I thought about
0:20Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed
0:27I'm hangin cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
0:33Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
0:36Come round
0:43Thought about
0:44Singin but I couldn't remember all of the words
0:51Breakin but I couldn't get the pieces apart
0:57Laughin never knowing what the joke was about
1:00Now I'm down
1:07And I wonder how I never got the burn
1:11And if I'm ever gonna learn
1:14How lonely people make a life
1:19One strain at a time
1:29Forgot about
1:31Everything and everyone I needed before
1:37Tryin to get a handle on a reason to shine
1:43Pickin up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
1:53So I wonder how I never got the burn
1:58And if I'm ever gonna learn
2:01How lonely people make a life
2:05One strain at a time and still shine
2:39And I wonder how I never got the burn
2:42And if I'm ever gonna learn
2:45How lonely people make a life
2:50One strain at a time
2:52And I wonder how I never got the burn
2:55And if I'm ever gonna learn
2:58How lonely people make a life
3:03One strain at a time and still shine
I thought about Leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed I'm hangin cause I couldn't get a ride outta town Now anyone who really wanted me to be down Come round Thought about Singin but I couldn't remember all of the words Breakin but I couldn't get the pieces apart Laughin never knowing what the joke was about Now I'm down And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time Forgot about Everything and everyone I needed before Tryin to get a handle on a reason to shine Pickin up the pieces that are falling behind takes time So I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time and still shine And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm ever gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time and still shine
