How many tomorrows can I call yesterday
Will it take a flood to realize it
It won't just float away
She tries to tell me that she's numb
I say she's not the only one
To play the part of the fool
Whose life has come undone

How many nights must she suffer from my apathy
I tell myself, it’s a need - not just a thrill for me
She says I'm like a loaded gun
I'm out of touch with everyone
So I turn her around and tell her
She's the one that’s helter skelter

Try as you might
You can't find
What I needed here today
And you are and you are to blame

And look at the people
They fall down today
And look at the people
They fall down today
Slide away

How many shallow minds must I fill with inspiration
How many nights must she suffer
From my degradation
She tries to tell me that she's numb
I say she's not the only one
So I turn her around to show her
She's the one that's sinking lower

Try as you might
You can’t find
What I needed here today
And you are and you are to blame

And look at the people
They fall down today
And look at the people
They fall down today
Slide away

And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try

And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try, and I try, and I try

And I
Try as you might
You can’t find
What I needed here today
And you are and you are to blame

And look at the people
They fall down today
And look at the people
They fall down today
Down today
Down today
Down today
Down today
Today, today, today, today

Gonna live forever
