I try so hard to understand, but it's so much harder that it used to be
Sometimes things seem so out of hand that I can't find a way....
To make things clear at all

And everything around me makes no sense
Clouds on horizons become more dense
I feel the circle spinning round
But I'm not as central as I used to be
I feel the pull of the centrifuge
As I go round and round but somehow enjoy the ride

An astronaut on a g-force machine
In the control room they're getting real mean
But I have you....
You take away the fear and let it slide away

Those years I can't have been an easy ride
No eye on the ball, no concentration, no backup plan
Just a focus on an album that may be (or maybe not)
The one where I "break through"
But somehow you still believe in me

And if I make it, I'll make it with you
And if I don't, we'll find a loophole that we can go through
We've taken all the things that they threw at us
Every drama, every crisis, we're still here

You take away the fear and let it slide away
