[Verse 1]
Maybe there are some words
That I don't know
Maybe there is some truth
Science can't show
Maybe there is some hope
That I could follow
So that our sorrows
Will not float around
We push it all down and down
Drown it all out
Then wait til it's gone
Wait til it's gone, say—

[Chorus]
How did everything get
So complicated?
Like a task that can't be solved
But we're trying to fake it
Maybe you can understand
I tried my best
But—
How did everything get
So complicated?
Like some math that can't be solved
But we're trying to fake it
Maybe you can understand
I tried my best
But I can't

[Verse 2]
Maybe there is a place
More real and more true
Where it feels safe just to do
To be you
Maybe there is a path
That we can trust
No hidden tears, no more fears
Money ain't enough
We push it all down and down
Drown it all out
Then wait til it's gone
Wait til it's gone, say—

[Bridge]
We push it all down and down and
We push it all down and down and
We push it all down and down
We push it all down and down
We push it all down and down
We push it all down and down
We push it all down and down
We push it all down and down

[Chorus]
How did everything get
So complicated?
Like a task that can't be solved
But we're trying to fake it
Maybe you can understand
I tried my best
But—
How did everything get
So complicated?
Like some math that can't be solved
But we're trying to fake it
Maybe you can understand
I tried my best
But I can't
I tried my best
But I can't
