Everything's fine for now but no one's really laughing
Everything's just all right, or is it now?
Turn up, turn around, but keep moving on
We can cut the cord now or just drag it along

(Chorus)
Now there's too many people trying to hard
Not to be outdone
They follow close behind their proud smoking gun

It's up to you and me whether to pay them any mind
Some people turn to tomorrow, and some to a bottle of wine
Remember back when there could be no wrong?
Well it's different for everyone until it's gone

(Chorus)

Things are breaking down
Not being patched up
Think it over again

Dreams come and go, and one thing remains
In the back of your mind, it won't go away
Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine"
Well from what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying

(Chorus)

They say take a leap from the common heap
But first look around past the college grounds
Were people aware 'bout more than themselves, they'd care
