Nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
 There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
 I knew a man who fell asleep, but he fell into his death
 There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
  
 So tell me how the heart begins and tell me why it slows
 And if you find a promised land, then tell me where you go
  
 When the light hits the water like it’s reaching for my hand
 And I feel the [bad word] down my back
 When your words are on my lips, like I thought of them myself
 There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
  
 So tell me how the heart begins and tell me why it slows
 And if you find a promised land, then tell me where you go
  
 Nothing, nothing, nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
 Nothing, nothing, There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
  
 Like when you know someone’s gone but you feel them just the same
 And you carry on as though [bad word] back
 When the night settles in but [bad word] from yourself
 There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
 There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
  
 Nothing, nothing, nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
 Nothing, nothing, There’s a lot of things that I don’t understand
