How do you always snag the brakes
Is it just good timing
Is there a method to changing tastes
That you're hiding
The way that they fly to you
As you tell them that you're busy
When you leave all your excuses
Sound so flimsy
But nothing can stop a man
Convinced of his own whimsy
He believes I am sold too
Teach it to me
It all seems so easy
Reach out to me and
Hand over you key
You must have gone from good to great
When I had my back turned
You must have buried your mistakes
And had all the maps burned
All that I figure out is
This game is a mystery
As I've been talking you've
Run out of things to say to me
Everyone stands and cheers for
Others' pure dishonesty
What they do I cannot do
Teach it to me
It all seems so easy
Reach out to me and
Hand over your key
When you go don't look at your shadow
It's dark there and you need light
Teach it to me
It all seems so easy
Reach out to me and
Hand over your key
How do you always
Snag the breaks
You must have gone
From good to great
Is there a method
To changing tastes
Teach it to me
It all seems so easy
You must have
Buried your mistakes
Reach out to me
And hand over your key
