Lyrics

What's your explanation?

'Cause everybody got one

What's your expectation?

I know you got some of those too

Are you one to fly with the creatures that always burn up in the flame?

Or are you one to sing with the creatures that make up the rules to the game?

I won't get hung up, strung up on the reasons why

If you knew me better, maybe you would change your mind

And leave it all behind

What's your explanation?

What's your favorite color, your sign

Your basic sense of style and your date of birth?

Who's gonna win your heart and when your heart's been won

Is it still your daddy first?

Are you one to dance to the rhythm or break 'til the pain shakes loose?

Or are you one to cry?

Oh, but you stay dry all night long

I won't get hung up, strung up on the reasons why

If I knew you better, maybe I could change your mind

If you knew me better, maybe you will change your mind

And leave it all behind

What's your explanation?

Are you one to fly with the creatures that always burn up in the flame?

Or are you one to sing with the creatures that make up the rules to the game?

What's your explanation?

'Cause everybody got one

Everybody got one
