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 everything is all too much
Hot and bothered, yet 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
You're just about to croak
There'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
