Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Breakin' away to the other side
I wanna make sense of why we live and die
I don't get it
I don't get it
[Verse 2]
I ask my friends if they understand
They just laugh at me and watch another band
They don't worry
They don't worry
[Verse 3]
Lookin' for a way to lose my load
I wanna make it easy to walk this road
I can't find it
Yeah, I can't find it
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I'm lookin' for answers
In so many places
I open my mind
I don't get it
[Verse 5]
Walkin' this earth
And keepin' my peace
I do what I want
But the price is steep
It don't seem right
It don't seem right
[Verse 6]
My mama, she told me
One step at a time
And sooner or later
You walk that line
I don't want to
I don't want to
[Verse 7]
Takin' my time
To live and die
I wanna find a way to do it right
And I ease on
And I ease on
[Verse 8]
They say, one thing always leads to another
I open my mind
I don't get it
[Verse 9]
Breakin' away to the other side
I wanna make sense of why we live and die
I don't get it
I don't get it
I don't get it
I don't get it
I don't get it
