Don't know how I let things go, you see  
 Don't know why it took a sudden turn  
 Didn't seem to be a big concern  
 And everything is all too much 
 Hot and bothered, you're cool to the touch  
 And everyone is worlds apart  
 It must have been this way from the start 
  
 When there's nothing here to save the day  
 Then we have to say  
 There's a reason for it  
 When there's nothing left for us to do  
 You're left without a clue 
 There's a reason for it  
  
 Don't know how it got away from me  
 Don't know how I let things go, you see 
 Don't know why it took a sudden turn  
 Didn't seem to be a big concern  
 And everyone is all too well 
 All well-adjusted people  
 Can't you tell?  
 And everything is all too fast  
 Just add water Nothing's built to last 
  
 When your colleagues can't recall your name  
 Time and time again  
 There's a reason for it  
 When your name's the butt of every joke  
 Just about to croak T 
 here's a reason for it  
 And everyone is worlds apart  
 It must have been this way from the start  
 When there's nothing here to save the day  
 Then we have to say  
 There's a reason for it  
 When there's nothing left for us to do  
 You're left without a clue  
 There's a reason for it  
 There's a reason for it  
 There's a reason for it  
 There's a reason for it
