She was a smart girl but she didn't think

The well was full - still there's nothing to drink

I got some money, but still it don't add up

How a girl like this can spend her life drinking from an empty cup

Oh she's lost, la-la-la-lost

I got a friend who works too much

Trying hard to find the end to the means

Came from nothing, got nothing to lose

Except he's losing sight of what is true in all his busy life

That boy's lost, la-la-la-lost

That boy's lost, la-la-la-la-lost

Maybe it's me but I can't see why

Sometimes we choose to be blind

Looking away, going day by day and

Stumbling around in the dark

Spend our lives wasting time

Running hard, still behind

So afraid of slowing down

Gotta stop and take a look around and see what can be found

We're so lost, la-la-la-lost

Lost, la-la-la-la-lost
