Clearly Lost Songtext
von Barenaked Ladies

If it was up to me, I′d take the whole thing back
Before the opening credits roll, we'd just fade to black
There′d be no leading man, no hearts to charm
There'd be no high speed chase, just a villain with no one to harm

Don't follow me, I′m clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed tryin′ to live through the frost
Why's it take so long?
Am I doing this wrong?

I′ve been down before, I had to readjust
It hadn't knocked my head clean off, but I was sure concussed
I had it all worked out, I was in the clear
Then the devil on my shoulder started grinning, saying "Hold my beer"


Don′t follow me, I'm clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed tryin′ to live through the frost
Why's it take so long?
Am I doing this wrong?

Takes two to tango, make a mess
Take your eyes off the road and you're gonna wreck
I should′ve known better, wasn′t worth it for another song
It wasn't good for the gander nor the goose
If you tug hard enough, any heart′ll come loose
Thought I learned a lesson and I thought it wouldn't take this long
I guess I′m doing this wrong

Don't follow me, I′m clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed tryin' to live through the frost
Why's it take so long?

Don′t follow me, I′m clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed tryin' to live through the frost
Why′s it take so long?
Am I doing this wrong?
