Lyrics Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

Reasons Why

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
