why'd i ever wanna be like you?
why'd i ever want to see this through?
times and troubles take the best of you (i know)
times of trouble wasted on your blues (i know)
time and trouble's got the best of you (oh no)
why the trouble when your life is good
i know, that your life is true
i know, that your life is good, so true
why the reason?
something, makes no sense
time and treason never were your best (oh no)
why'd the rhythm stop its beat for you? (don't know)
what's the reason for you spouting the blues?
don't know, 'cause your life is good
don't know, 'cause your life is true
don't know, 'cause your life is good, don't know
time and troubles got the best of you
time and troubles got the best of you (this time)
why the trouble when your life is...
why the trouble when your life is...
why this trouble when your life is good?
don't know, 'cause this life is good...
don't know, 'cause this life is good...
don't know, 'cause this life is good...
don't know, 'cause this life's so...
know that life is good
don't know, don't know this life is good...
i know, that this life is good...
i know, that this life is good.

know future (acoustic)

maybe life, maybe life goes too fast...
too many things
too loose
too much to ask
maybe time, maybe time will take a chance
in all ways and in "always so afraid"
made to lose
in last
forward time and see what we might do
standing back
always in fear
always in fear of the truth
long last
long last second chance
too much to lose
too much to take a chance
long glance
past of failure
it's due, it's due, your time, your time
in truth you've lost your chance...
forward time and see what we might do
standing back
always in fear of the truth
forward time and see what we might do
standing back
always in fear, always in fear of what we might do
always in fear, always in fear of the truth
try again, why again?
you know you lied again...
try again, why again?
why'd you lie again?
too fast, it always seems
it always seems too fast
try again, why again?
don't you know you lied again?
always, always too fast...
too fast, always too fast...
too fast...
you know you tried again...
you don't know why again

why'd you... oh... want to be
more than this
more than yr worth?
watch me
turn on the curse
forwards, backwards
always reversed
want to
be something else
but i can't
just be rehearsed
walk through
life
more than this
comes to haunt, missing bliss
why'd you want
more than this
in consciousness
fold to hissssssssssssss...
why'd you, once more...
why'd you, wants more...
once more, wants more...
once more wants more

future past (acoustic)

tomorrow's starting to look a lot like today
piles of pieces where nothing's going toward change
where to start or waste and complain?
think it over and find away
time kisses the cheek
let's you know that it's around
but for how long
nothing to grip the roots too...
on and on...
on... on and on...
not sure what it's all for
realizing that time is dying fast
picking out gravestone designs
instead of making the best of what's left
remember all that was
and live for what's left
remember all that was
and live for what's left...
on and on...
on... on, on, on, and on

feel the wisdom grow in slowly, surely
take into account, all it's cost
save for futures lost in consideration
for maybe better future is tossed
forward in reverse to past situations
repetition common and do-the-sames
parallels of people you thought that you once knew
and look at what makes you "you"
and look at we've come to...
fake decisions to fit with the time
not too sure if you'll make it
no real direction but having good times
sometimes too hard to fake it
feeling like something wrong has been removed
but watch the back...
you know it's coming too soon
maybe i know the way out...
the best advice is saved for you
looking for a way to get out...
don't like to think that maybe you would...
maybe you'd glorify this too.
maybe it's something special
well maybe you're special too.
