"The Answer" lyrics

"The Answer"

All the words I'm yet to hear, all the worst I have to fear
All the chemicals that I bury deep inside my mind
All the people hanging around, would they still be hanging around?
When my head is in the clouds and I'm turning upside down

Doesn't matter, I know the answer
Even though I ask myself every time (Woah-oh-oh)
"Would it be different in another life?"

Would a day through different eyes
Be enough to satisfy all the visions in my head?
Shine a light under the bed
All the good and all the bad, it doesn't help unhealthy habits
Time could slip right through my hands, I'd still end up where I am

Doesn't matter, I know the answer
Even though I ask myself every time
"Would it be different in another life?"
Nothing changes, but my mistake is
Lying awake with questions I've asked a thousand times
Would it be different in another life?

(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
It wouldn't be different, it wouldn't be different in another life
