Most of the Time (Alternate version)
[Verse 1]
Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle what I stumble upon
I don’t even notice she's gone
Most of the time

[Verse 2]
Most of the time
I'm cool underneath
Most of the time
I can keep it right between my teeth
I can solve any riddle, I can hold my own
Deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive, I can endure
I don’t even think about her
Most of the time

[Verse 3]
Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I got enough faith and I got enough strength
I keep it all away, way beyond arm's length
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
[Bridge]
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her

[Verse 4]
Most of the time
I’m halfways content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it all went
I don’t cheat on myself, I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don’t compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time
