When I speak it slow
I look up to the sky
And I feel that wind a'blow
With my arms open wide

Why are we here?
And when do we go?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know round here?

Why do you say you love me when you don't?
And don't ever say you will because you won't

There are paths rollin' in the corners of our lives
And waterfalls of guilt pouring out of our eyes
Why do I fear my fame won't grow?
Does anybody know?
Is there more to life than the birds and the bees?
Or do we float around like on the breeze

Why are we here?
And when do we go?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know round here?

Why do you say you love me when you don't?
And don't ever say you will because you won't
And why do you say you're listening at all?
You'll never try to catch me when I fall
Yeah yeah yeah

Is this how it's supposed to be, mama?
Is this how it's s'posed to be?
Ain't nobody worried bout me, mama
I'll be coming' home, I'll be coming' home real soon

Why do you say you love me when you don't?
And don't ever say you will because you won't
Why do you say you love me when you don't?
And don't ever say you will because you won't
And why do you say you're listening at all?
You'll never try to catch me when I fall
You'll never try to catch me when I fall
