If this, then this If when, why not now? I can tell that you're afraid You will try and escape 'Cause you can't forget the taste It's hard in hard times to ask hard questions and get hard answers When you could hardly stand You'll never understand 'Cause it's the hardest when you go farthest and just end up nowhere It takes everything I can not to drink myself into oblivion Oblivion If this, then this If when, why not now? I can tell that you're afraid You will try and escape 'Cause you can't forget the taste I don't want to give up but it's costing you so much I always want to stay But I can't pull my own weight My life has lost its meaning I'm lost in the past I'm just like the tourist Walking way too fast If this, then this If when, why not now? I can tell that you're afraid You will try and escape My life has lost its meaning I'm lost in the past I'm just like the tourist Watching everyone go past Walking way too fast
