How Why & When

Started out for tomorrow
 Limp in the lap of today
 Could have settled for this
 But you'd much rather go that way
 Some things seem like nothing when you can't tame
 A world of wax amenities, they sink away
 Into your how, why, and when
 Into your how, why, and when
 ♪
 Stayed outside tonight
 Stay outside today
 They told me what you sold me
 A bundle of bricks and clay
 Well, just don't try to mold me
 When you'd much rather give it away
 No, don't you try to hold it, let it slip and say
 The table's set for me
 In your how, why, and when
 In your how, why, and when
 In your how and when
 In your how, why, and when
 Well, maybe the first mistake
 Self denial can't erase
 Or maybe what seconds steal
 Was dragged onto a landscape
 To resurrect what little you feel
 With nothing there to confiscate
 So why ask why
 When how you feel is you cannot deal
 With the traces
 The faces of love
 In your how, why, and when
 In your how, why, and when
 In your how and when
 In your how, why, and when
