NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Reasons Why

"Reasons Why"



Where am I today? I wish that I knew

'Cause looking 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

I'm calling this home when it's not even close

Playing the role with nerves left exposed



Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines

Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why



We get distracted by 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

While others have excuses, I have my reasons why



[Bridge:]

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
