The clever ways I try to change
Happen and pass leaving me the same
Of course it must be something else
Leading questions I might ask myself
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold
What you do works for a time
Until you drop without a warning sign
If you keep going on like this
I'll be one more thing for you to miss
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold

Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold

Wander 'til we're old
