lyrics

I have a mind but I don't trust it sometimes
It leads me up then trips me down the stairs
It fills me up with way too many cares
It keeps me writing songs that no one hears

Is something there?

And maybe there's a way to calm the waters
and sail into the sound
find a place where I can drop my anchor
and make for higher ground
climb a hill then climb a tree
the highest place where I can see the ocean
beneath me
and maybe there's a place for me
within a heart that seems to be
a little more
free

Is something there?

I have a heart but I don't trust it sometimes
it leads me up then trips me down the stairs
it's got these tiny little tears
is it even still there?

Is something there?
(outro)
