lyrics

Stuck in the news again
Feels like you can’t wake up
Pretty sure you’ve reached the end
A storm is raging in your cup

Drop a line, phone a friend
Hope to hear the things you want to hear
A new dead-end

Ain’t it funny how things go
Don’t ask if you don’t want to know
You tried your best but it goes to show
The river’s gonna overflow
So don’t ask if you don’t want to know

Got your resolutions made
the bills have gone unpaid
The checks were all in the mail
but peace of mind is not for sale

Take a trip to clear your head, yeah
Hope to see the things you want to see
In books you’ve read, well

Ain’t it funny how things go
Don’t ask if you don’t want to know
You tried your best but it goes to show
The river’s gonna overflow
So don’t ask if you don’t want to know

There’s too much darkness, babe
We can be lighthouses
Just keep on building 'til
You got hate surrounded

Stuck in the news again
Feels like you can't wake up
We never really reach the end
so have some faith and don’t give up
(the river's gonna overflow)
Have some faith and don't give up
(don't ask if you don't want to know)
