Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could it be I'm alive after all that?
Picking pennies off the floor with my cold, cold hands
[Verse 2]
Look at me no hands, ain't it cool, yeah?
Look at her falling out of a taxi cab
[Verse 3]
If you really want some understanding
You will learn it can be quite frustrating
If you really want to understand it
You will learn it can be quite demanding
[Verse 4]
You and me trying hard to remember
How we ever started out with our sights so high
[Verse 5]
Looking down, seeing your yellow fingers
And if you don't understand then at least that's why
[Verse 6]
If you really want some understanding
You will learn it can be quite frustrating
If you really want to understand it
You will learn it can be quite demanding
[Verse 7]
Could it be I'm alive after all that?
Picking pennies off the floor with my cold holds
[Verse 8]
Look at me no hands, ain't it cool, yeah?
Look at her falling out of a taxi cab
[Verse 9]
If you really want some understanding
You will learn it can be quite frustrating
If you really want to understand it
You should talk to Mr. Understanding
