Nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand
I knew a man who fell asleep, but he fell into his death
There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand

So tell me how the heart begins and tell me why it slows
And if you find a promised land, then tell me where you go

When the light hits the water like it´s reaching for my hand
And I feel the shivers running down my back
When your words are on my lips, like I thought of them myself
There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand

So tell me how the heart begins and tell me why it slows
And if you find a promised land, then tell me where you go

Nothing, nothing, nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
Nothing, nothing, There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand

Like when you know someone´s gone but you feel them just the same
And you carry on as though they´re coming back
When the night settles in but you´re running from yourself
There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand
There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand

Nothing, nothing, nothing ever seems to go exactly how you plan
Nothing, nothing, There´s a lot of things that I don´t understand
