Lyrics Explanation - Train

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?
What's your explanation?
What's your explanation?
'Cause everybody got one
'Cause everybody got one
Everybody got one
