White knuckles, sweaty palms
I can't get anything wrong
It's taking far too long -
why does it seem that way?
You ought to straighten out
you should be fine by now
your time is running out
Why do you think that way?
(Chorus:)
You know me -
I take everything so seriously
I don't mean to
but sometimes even letting go
is more that I can do
If I try hard enough
If I just toughen up 
maybe I'll rise above
Where did you learn that way?
(Chorus:)
You know me -
I take everything so seriously
I don't mean to
but sometimes even letting go
is more that I can do
Bridge:
Why do you think that way?
(Chorus:)
You know me -
I take everything so seriously
I don't mean to
but sometimes even letting go
is more that I can do
