I try so hard to understand, but it's so much harder that it used to be Sometimes things seem so out of hand that I can't find a way.... To make things clear at all And everything around me makes no sense Clouds on horizons become more dense I feel the circle spinning round But I'm not as central as I used to be I feel the pull of the centrifuge As I go round and round but somehow enjoy the ride An astronaut on a g-force machine In the control room they're getting real mean But I have you.... You take away the fear and let it slide away Those years I can't have been an easy ride No eye on the ball, no concentration, no backup plan Just a focus on an album that may be (or maybe not) The one where I "break through" But somehow you still believe in me And if I make it, I'll make it with you And if I don't, we'll find a loophole that we can go through We've taken all the things that they threw at us Every drama, every crisis, we're still here
