"The Answer" lyrics
Another full year, a thousand more questions (Questions, questions, questions)
Another round trip and I still feel lost
'Cause even though I followed all the directions
I don't know how to make any sense of my own thoughts
I got two hands tight around the steering wheel
I got three cracks running up the windshield
What's it all for, don't know why I hit the road
'Cause at the end of the day, I'm gonna drive back home
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Another July, another new heart break (H-heart break, heart break)
They're coming and going like it's no big deal (Na na na na na na na)
I'm tired of thinking that it has to be this way
Just entrusting my heart to the first boy who tells me exactly how he feels
I'm out here white-knuckling the reins again
Planning out my life with only common sense
All this control is killing me
I've become my own liability
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Waiting for some peace but never finding the source
I'm ripping at the seams to figure out what I'm made for
Too many opinions, nothing striking a chord
Just tell me the answer, tell me the answer
I bend to pick up pieces
I bend to fit in places
I bend the rules to make the mark
When I'm too tired to stand back up
This can't be all I'm offered
I don't feel any stronger
I bend so I feel smaller
And I can't pick myself back up
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Waiting for some peace but never finding the source
I'm ripping at the seams to figure out what I'm made for
Too many opinions, nothing striking a chord
Just tell me the answer, tell me the answer
Tell me the answer, tell me the answer
Another round trip and I still feel lost
'Cause even though I followed all the directions
I don't know how to make any sense of my own thoughts
I got two hands tight around the steering wheel
I got three cracks running up the windshield
What's it all for, don't know why I hit the road
'Cause at the end of the day, I'm gonna drive back home
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Another July, another new heart break (H-heart break, heart break)
They're coming and going like it's no big deal (Na na na na na na na)
I'm tired of thinking that it has to be this way
Just entrusting my heart to the first boy who tells me exactly how he feels
I'm out here white-knuckling the reins again
Planning out my life with only common sense
All this control is killing me
I've become my own liability
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Waiting for some peace but never finding the source
I'm ripping at the seams to figure out what I'm made for
Too many opinions, nothing striking a chord
Just tell me the answer, tell me the answer
I bend to pick up pieces
I bend to fit in places
I bend the rules to make the mark
When I'm too tired to stand back up
This can't be all I'm offered
I don't feel any stronger
I bend so I feel smaller
And I can't pick myself back up
There's gotta be a way to see the world without feeling
Like you're missing out, like the grass is greener
Everywhere except all of the places you stand
Just tell me than answer, tell me the answer
Waiting for some peace but never finding the source
I'm ripping at the seams to figure out what I'm made for
Too many opinions, nothing striking a chord
Just tell me the answer, tell me the answer
Tell me the answer, tell me the answer
