Keeping Score

Bring it back to who you once were.

Take the time to remember how you were so sure.

Take it back further, take it back to grade four - you believed with great conviction that someone was keeping score.

It didn't bother you at first because you knew you were the man, knew that God was holding hands, gonna walk you through his plan.

But then BAM came the lightning and BAM there's life and now the thing that you've been searching for is fading out of sight.

I'd tell you not to get down when you realize the lies, but it's gonna happen anyway, why talk of paradise?

When you're trudging through the everyday pain, gray in the face, what you need's defibrilation, not a billion dollar goose chase.

They'll try and tempt you with a prize but you know you've gotta earn it, try to tempt you with a smile, but you know that smile is burnin.

Man, you see these things all day, I don't mean to be a bore, just remember, don't forget it, someone's always keeping score.
