Just When I Think There's an Answer

(lyrics from Tom Colontonio Remix)
What I have learned is the detail
In less of a rush and I know it sounds strange
Knowledge is wealth and is grieving
The memory's gone and it has to give way
Sometimes I watch and just listen
I saw from the side and that I didn't write down
And don't bring me harm but I'm missing
I'm finding the weakness and I'm working it out
Just when I think there's an answer
You fire a question and I'm thrown off guard
How could I ever remember
You don't understand it when I go too far
It's not that I'm trying to defend it
The animal instinct that I can't explain
I put a paper and send it
Buy me some time before I'm ready again
Say I'm down and in the street
My words will knock you off your feet
Speak now or never hold your peace
That's how it's got to be okay
(x5)

In less of a rush and I know it sounds strange
Knowledge is wealth and is grieving
The memory's gone and it has to give way
Sometimes I watch and just listen
I saw from the side and that I didn't write down
And don't bring me harm but I'm missing
I'm finding the weakness and I'm working it out
Say I'm down and in the street
My words will knock you off your feet
Speak now or never hold your peace
That's how it's got to be okay
(x2)
That's how it's got to be okay
That's how it's got to be okay
