Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
[Verse 2]
I can follow the path
I can read the signs
Stay right with it
When the road unwinds
[Verse 3]
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice
She gone
Most of the time
[Verse 4]
Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
[Verse 5]
I can't make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation
Right down to the bone
[Verse 6]
I can survive
And I can endure
And I don't even think
About her
Most of the time
[Verse 7]
Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
[Verse 8]
I don't build up illusion
Till it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion
No matter how thick
[Verse 9]
I can smile in the face
Of mankind
Don't even remember
What her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
[Verse 10]
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
[Verse 11]
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
[Verse 12]
Most of the time
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it all went
[Verse 13]
I don't cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings
That are buried inside
[Verse 14]
I don't compromise
And I don't pretend
I don't even care
If I ever see her again
Most of the time
