Barenaked Ladies - Clearly Lost Lyrics

If it was up to me
I'd take the whole thing back
Before the opening credits roll
We'd just fade to black
There'd be no leading man
No hearts to charm
There'd be no high speed chase
Just a villain with no one to harm

Don't follow me, I'm clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed trying to live through the frost
Why's it take so long? Am I doing this wrong?

I've been down before, I had to readjust
It hadn't knocked my head clean off
But I was sure concussed
I had it all worked out, I was in the clear
Then the devil on my shoulder started grinning
Saying, "Hold my beer"

Don't follow me, I'm clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed trying to live through the frost
Why's it take so long? Am I doing this wrong?

Takes two to tango, make a mess
Take your eyes off the road and you're gonna wreck
I shoulda known better, wasn't worth it for another song
It wasn't good for the gander nor the goose
If you tug hard enough any heart'll come loose
I thought I learned a lesson and I thought it wouldn't take this long
I guess I'm doing this wrong

Don't follow me, I'm clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed trying to live through the frost
Why's it take so long?

Don't follow me, I'm clearly lost
Fell far from the tree, paid the cost
A tiny seed trying to live through the frost
Why's it take so long? Am I doing this wrong?
