lyrics

And if I understand how it is, and how it works,
And how It lives, and how it breaths,
And how it all comes together.
If I see the threads that join up all the pieces
Will I ever move beyond the feeling
That I don't belong.
There are days when I feel
I don't know how to reach out my hand
And touch what's real,
In the need to understand
How the world fits together.
Do I pretend I see the patterns,
See the shapes, and see the purpose
Of how it is for others, do I pretend that I am the same.

Hey, hey, hey, hey all of my life.
I felt I was outside of the bubble
Watching other people in there, in their world
And they knew how to be there,
They knew what was expected of them
But I could not get inside, no I could not get inside.

And I had no words to tell it like I saw it as a child.
And I had no way to say. the world feels out of sync
To me, Please help me I am lagging
Half a step behind the dance, out of rhythm,
Out of rhyme, and I can’t catch up.
And it all just ignored me.
And even now it’s hard to paint a picture for another
Of how the world seems to be to me.
And I seem to lack the rules to move
Across the game board of my adult life,
When the pitfalls are all hidden,
And the dice seems to never get a double,
And no one has told me the reason for the game

Hey, hey, hey, hey all of my life.
I have been outside of the bubble
Watching other people in there, in their world
And i didn't know how to be there,
And I didn't know what was expected of me
And I could not get inside, I couldn't get inside.
