I tried to grow like the other trees
'Cause I thought it would make me sprout
In my head you brought me down onto my knees
And now I think I know what I'm about.
You bring me down to reality
And I really thought that was a start.
But now you go, you're telling me
That someone else has got your heart.

Well, of course they do
And I do too
Not really, I just want some way to talk to you. (x4)

Maybe I'll try to figure it out
I think I know what you're all about
All I've ever seen, all I've ever had
But you know one thing, that's what makes it sad.

I tried to move like the other cars
'Cause I thought it would save my gas
But you brought me up into the stars
And now I think I know what is my task.
You bring me out, as far as I can see
Farther than I've ever tried.
But now look at what you're telling me,
Now I've got to go run and hide.

Well, of course I do
And you do too
Not really, I just wanted to relate to you. (x2)

Maybe I'll try to figure it out
I think I know what you're all about
All I've ever seen, all I've ever had
But you know one thing, that's what makes it sad.

Maybe I'll try to figure it out
I don't fuckin' know what I'm all about
I don't know what I see, I don't know what I have
I don't know nothing, that's what makes me sad.

I always put my all into just one person
And it brings me down, it really brings me down
I don't know much, but I know one thing for certain
It's bringing me down, it really brings me down

I guess I wanted you to save me. (x forever)
I wanted you to save me, but from what?

Maybe I'll try to figure it out
I think I know what you're all about
All I've ever seen, all I've ever had
But you know one thing, that's what makes it sad.

Maybe I'll try to figure it out
I don't even know what I'm sad about
I've been given all I've seen, I've been given all I have
Got no reason to be sad, that's what makes me sad.
