Flags and Footprints

I'm lookin' for a reason why

I see no shootin' stars tonight

Just a sign that everything's alright

To quiet me, to quiet me

Maybe all I hoped was wrong

Maybe all I dreamed is gone

Maybe I was stupid all along

For tryin' it, for tryin' it

But I believed in what you said

I trusted in your summer, now

The leaves are turning red

And soon they'll all be comin' down

How can I go on

If hope is what keeps me alive

And I'm so uncertain?

It seems the more I look for you

The more I fail to find the truth

Maybe I'm affecting what I view

With heavy veils and fairy-tales

Maybe my research was sound

Maybe I just fooled around

All flags and footprints but nothing further down

To find you, to find you

But I believed in what you said

I trusted in your summer, now

The leaves are turning red

And soon they'll all be comin' down

How can I go on

If hope is what keeps me alive

And I'm so uncertain?

I guess I learned the hard way

Or did I waste my time?

I never met you halfway

But I crossed that line

And I believed in what you said

I trusted in your summer, now

The leaves are turning red

And soon they'll all be comin' down

How can I go on

If hope is what keeps me alive?

Maybe someday I'll know why
