Lyrics

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay

I'm all wound up and tied in knots today

I'm lookin' for a reason not to go

When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

Every night, I ask myself again

Just what it was that made our dream begin

It seemed like a good idea way back then

But I'm wonderin' now what daydream took me in

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay

I'm all wound up and tied in knots today

I'm lookin' for a reason not to go

When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

Yesterday, I tried once more to find

A way to share the trouble on my mind

It seems like you turn away every time

I used to like it here, I can't remember why

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay

Hey, I'm all wound up and tied in knots today

I'm lookin' for a reason not to go

When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay

Yeah, I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
