Hopelessly in search of something
To make it on your own
You can tell the world is listening
But you want to be left alone
The traffic outside ain't moving
And it's a mirror to your life
You came here with good reasons
But the wrongs don't make things right
And something keeps on tearing you apart

How?
Could anybody have ever known
Whichever way to go?
Just tell me cause I want to know
How?
If I lose all that I found,
Could I pick myself off of the ground?
Would I ever be the one you know?

Hopefully we learn the one thing
That leads us through our lives
You can find your path to freedom
As it seems I have my doubts
Your passion and your pride is reeling
And I suppose you’ve neared the end
It’s turning all your fears burning all aflame
And you can’t possibly comprehend
That something keeps on tearing you apart

How?
Could anybody have ever known
Whichever way to go?
Just tell me cause I want to know
How?
If I lose all that I found,
Could I pick myself off of the ground?
Would I ever be the one you know?
