Reasons Why
Nickel Creek and Glen Phillips Lyrics


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 you lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it, too
Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew
Calling this a home when it's not even close
I'm playing the role with nerves left exposed
Standing on a darkened stage
Stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why

We get distracted by the 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 highest rung
To shake fists at the sky
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why
With so much deception
It's hard not to wander away (hard not to wander away)
It's hard not wander away

this song is a refuge for many. in dark times or times of uncertainty, this song has always been there to comfort me, this song gives me hope to keep my head high, and to keep on walking when i feel like i cant walk anymore. thanks to these composers for making such a great song for people to enjoy forever.
