You're taken down by the pressure

Of the story that you make this up to be

Mistaking passion for pleasure

Where's the progress, do you remember


I noticed you told me to be careful

To be careful for this place

It's known for disaster

And disaster is known for destruction of your lies


Why can't we win, why can't we


All take turns, I know it's harder

It's coming 'round again, but back to the matter

As I've got nothing to prove to anyone

I haven't got much, but I'm getting somewhere


You see me off with your goodbyes, with your heartache

With those dramatic stories and I, I'm humbly leaving

With my modesty on my sleeve and I say goodbye


Why can't we win, why can't we


All take turns, I know it's harder

It's coming 'round again, but back to the matter

As I've got nothing to prove to anyone

I haven't got much, but I'm getting some


We all take turns, I know it's harder

It's coming 'round again, but back to the matter

As I've got nothing to prove to anyone

I haven't got much, but I'm getting somewhere


And I'm so carefully waiting for this

And I came along with a cheer, you say this

Everything I am is everything I wanted to be


Why can't we


All take turns, I know it's harder

It's coming 'round again, but back to the matter

As I've got nothing to prove to anyone

I haven't got much, but I'm getting some


We all take turns, I know it's harder

It's coming 'round again, but back to the matter

As I've got nothing to prove to anyone

I haven't got much, but I'm getting somewhere
