If you pull the thread long enough,
you can watch it unwind
Turn the run underneath your feet
into a puddle of twine
When questions lay unanswered,
and old answers don’t sit right
And you lie awake, and cannot shake
all the thoughts from your mind
Before the mirage disappeared,
there was a time it all seemed so clear
What if I never feel certain again
Finding more questions than answers
It seems the longer I’m here the less I know
Holding all the loose ends, we are making it up as we go
I used to feel certain of
the world in which I lived
Those were simpler times in 99
when I was a kid
Now everything is different
and I’m not sure whose to blame
Is it the fault of institutions
or just a coming of age
Before the mirage disappeared,
there was a time it all seemed so clear
What if I never feel certain again
Finding more questions than answers
It seems the longer I’m here the less I know
Holding all the loose ends, we are making it up as we go
Oooh, ooooh, oooh, ooooh
It seems the longer I’m here the less I know
Holding all the loose ends, we are making it up as we go
