I make my way by inches and degrees

That make up a forest of too many trees

Seems like every time I try

There’s something there to stop me

I only back down when there’s something to lose

One foot can sometimes be better than two

And if I jump across the fence

There’s nothing there to catch me

Chorus:

I try to tell you what I’m thinking

But it flies back in my face

Words come out different

Meanings are shifted

And my intentions take new shapes

Turning me backwards

Lifting me upwards

Drop me in my place

Wherever that is

Whatever that means

Whatever difference it makes

Could it be that you don’t understand me?

I doubt myself sometimes, never, always

And I don’t feel like holding out

Cause I’m too tired for this time

(Chorus)

I make resolutions; I won't back down

Then comes a rainstorm, and I hit the ground

But the sun’s shining right now

Take me away awhile

(Chorus)

Wherever that is (Turning me backward, lifting me upward)

Whatever that means (Turning me backward, lifting me upward)

Whatever difference it makes…
