“Reasons Why”


Where am I today? I wish that I knew


‘Cause looking around there’s no sign of You


I don’t remember one jump or one leap


Just quiet steps away from Your lead




I’m holding my heart out but clutching it too


Feeling this short of a love that we once knew


I’m calling this home when it’s not even close


Playing the role with nerves left exposed




Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines


Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why




We get distracted by dreams of our own


But nobody’s happy while feeling alone


And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall


We lean another ladder against the wrong wall




And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky


While others have excuses, I have my reasons why



With so much deception it’s hard not to wander away


It’s hard not to wander away
