i get so nervous
i get so scared
i get so worried about
things that come and things that never quite turn out

he just smiles
tells me that life's never quite the same from day to day
that if you don't look fast it all seems to fade away
with eyes that pierce and a smile that's biting
he burns into my soul

laughs and tells me it's not that hard
to figure out who you are and where you fit
wherever you go, he says, there you'll be
and i wonder why he bothers talking to me

the days go by
his smile fades
but his words still cast the blame
the offer stands where he once was
shit, i'll never be the same

life goes on the sky gets dark
and i keep movin on
never knowin where to go
or what i left behind

he smiles and says it's just a game
do or don't, it's all the same
just give it all you've got
be someone you're not
and keep movin on

i go from day to day
smiles fade and faces change
but i never can quite catch
the one i can't seem to chase

i run and run
he's still right there
smiling, laughing, pretending to care
give it all you've got
be someone you're not
win the game, it's all the same
run the faceless lot

something in his eyes defies all explanation
i can't quite see or seem to be
whenever he's around
it seems to me that some things change
and others stay around
all i know is where i go
what i've lost and found

he smiles and says you'll never win
i say i'll never try
life's not meant to blow away
just to drift
