I was running for a while
|
Chasing promises and dreams
|
Everything seems easy
|
When you're hopeful and aspiring
|
|
I was just another rebel
|
Walking on high wire lines
|
I was looking for trouble
|
Cheap fun and good times
|
|
I was stubborn and I was young
|
I thought I had all the answers
|
Class clown, that was me
|
But the joke wore thin
|
And when the joke was over
|
And the laughter had died down
|
My questions still remain
|
And I'm wondering
|
|
In my dark suburban bedroom
|
I would lie there in the night
|
Watching shadows on the wall
|
From reflections of headlights
|
|
All my heroes danced before me
|
In elusive shades of gray
|
Close your eyes and go to sleep, child
|
I can still hear my mother say
|
|
But I was stubborn and I was young
|
I thought I had all the answers
|
Class clown, that was me
|
But the joke wore thin
|
And when the joke was over
|
And the laughter had died down
|
My questions still remain
|
And I'm wondering
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
