You know I lose, you know I win;

you know I call for the shape I'm in.

It's just a game you see me play,

only real in the way that I feel from day to day.



Although the answer is not unknown,

I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown.

It's not all right to say goodbye,

and the world on a string doesn't mean a thing.



No, the world on a string doesn't mean a thing.

It's only real in the way that I feel from day to day.

Day to day.
