Reasons Why Lyrics - Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek

Where am I today, I wish that I knew 

'Cause looking around there's no sign of you 

I don't remember one jump or one leap 

Just quiet steps away from your lead 

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too 

Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew 

I'm calling this home when it's not even close 

Playing the role with nerves left exposed 

Standing on a darkened stage 

Stumbling through the lines 

Others have excuses 

But I have my reasons why 

We get distracted by the dreams of our own 

But nobody's happy while feeling alone 

And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall 

We lean another ladder against the wrong wall 

And climb high to the highest rung 

To shake fists at the sky 

While others have excuses 

I have my reasons why 

With so much deception 

It's hard not to wander away 

It's hard not to wander away 

It's hard not to wander away
