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, you're 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 

Just about to croak T

here'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
