Nickel Creek
Reasons Why (Live)
[Intro]
One, two, three, uh

[Verse 1]
Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause lookin' around, there's no sign of you
And I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead
Holding my heart out, but clutching it too
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

[Chorus]
Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses, I havе my reasons why

[Verse 2]
We get distractеd by the dreams of our own
And nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

[Chorus]
And climb high to the highest rung to shake fists at the sky
Others have excuses, I have my reasons why
[Bridge]
With so much deception
It's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away
Oh, hard not to wander away

[Chorus]
Climb high to the highest rung to shake fists at the sky
Others have excuses, I have my reasons why

[Outro]
Yeah, guys
Howdy, folks, how you doing?
That was a song off our first record, this next one's off of our latest
Um, and it has some, some local, uh, relevance
Do you guys remember a few years back when the rapture almost happened?
It was a, it was a very close call, but we made it
And, uh, I was driving around the day before
Uh, it was, it was said to be, uh
It was supposed to be, uh, May 21st, no, it was May 20th
And I saw one of the signs that, that said so
I was driving around in Los Angeles where Sara and I live and, um
I thought I should probably try and write one more song before it all goes down
So here you go
