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 short 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 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 [bad word]  to shake fists at the sky 
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why 

[Bridge:]
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
