Nickel Creek Reasons Why lyrics

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 holdin' my heart out but clutchin' it too
Feelin' this short of a love that we once knew
I'm callin' this home when it's not even close
I'm playin' the role with nerves left exposed

Standin' on a darkened stage
Stumblin' 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 feelin' alone
Knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
Leanin' 'nother 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
(Hard not to wander away)
It's hard not to wander away
