It seems to me I've wasted all my time looking so hard for you
It seems to me you've wasted all your time
When the bedrock falls into the sea
And all is not as it should be
There seems to be no reason and no rhyme
It seems you caught yourself believing all the things you can't believe
It seems to me that you've fallen behind
When you're found in someone else's dream
Collecting all your thoughts, it seems
To me that you have finally lost your mind
So what if I checked out, backed down
Then returned to the place where you lay
At least I left town and tried to sort out
All the cards I was dealt but never played
It seems our generation is flying circles, not sure where to land
While the others on the ground ain't hard to find
But when they see us soaring overhead
Reclining in their feather beds
Do they wonder if they're wasting all their time?
It seems to me I've got this sinking feeling lately I can't shake
I swear to you, it's somewhere deep inside
That this whole mad world is lookin' 'round
A-wonderin' if somebody's found
A cure for this disease that we all share but can't define
A disease that we all share but can't define
So what if I checked out, backed down,
Then returned to the place where you lay
At least I left town and tried to sort out
All the cards you were dealt but never played
It seems to me you've hit another wall
Don't turn around again
Just scale it and drop on the other side
'Cause at least you'll cover some new ground
So when you finally lay back down
You'll know you haven't wasted all your time
So what if you checked out, backed down
Then returned to the place where you lay
At least you left town and tried to sort out
All the cards you were dealt but never played
