Story Behind The Song

Dealing with the uncertainty facing a person who is at a stage in life where his decisions will chart his course and realizing panic and frustration are not helpful in coming to grips with change

Lyrics

This ones for the rainy days
And all those rude awakenings

I've seem to lost touch with my brain
I'll build a bridge to burn it down again

And this one's for the heart attacks
And all those times I broke my back

Just trying to keep together at the seams

Oh, when I take your breath away I might forget to give it back, back, back

Oh I'm glad to know that it's all worth it in the end
Why can't things be picture perfect why pretend
Oh, and when we're caught in panic I won't stall
Guess we're not so photogenic after all

Long nights, soundless sleep I lost
I look back now at what they cost

I finally realized what it means
To hold on to important things

These few months have been the worst
Somebody go and call a hearse
I'm dying to tell you how I've been

Oh, when i take your breath away I might forget to give it back, back, back

Oh, I'm glad to know that it's all worth it in the end
Why can't things be picture perfect why pretend
Oh, and when we're caught in panic I won't stall
Guess we're not so photogenic after all

I'm so frantic but I won't panic anymore

These days have gone
I'd like to say
That I've moved on
But some things just don't change

This one's for the rainy days
And all those rude awakenings
I've seemed to lost touch with my brain

Yeah

Glad to know that it's all worth it in the end
Why can't things be picture perfect why pretend
And when we're caught in panic I won't stall
Guess we're not so photogenic after all

I was volcanic but I can't panic anymore
