Story behind the song
Why do people sabotage themselves?
Lyrics
Whatever The register tape said her name was Jen and “Thanks for coming! Please come again.” Polite, he thought, you know my mom would like her So he waited around ‘til she got off work. Well she should’ve been scared but she wasn’t She’d never seen him before but she could tell He was kinda strange. All the normal boys had always caused her pain So what the hell she said and they took a walk in the rain. CH1: When you’re looking for something You take any sign When you want to hear poetry Any word’s going to sound right. We cling to our faith and seal our fate Whatever Fortune cookie, the old eight ball Mary’s visage on a Spanish wall I’ve got my lucky number and my mojo man We’re just doing the best we can Well it should all make sense but it doesn’t In a world of confusion where nothing is set in stone Every scientist knows there’s a place where it all breaks down So they set the hunches and another probe lifts from the ground. CH1: BR: It’s the mystery that keeps hope alive When disappointment wracks you Time after time after time I put my life in another’s hands ‘cause I’ve learned now not to trust my own. I guess your wondering what happened to Jen And how things went with her new boyfriend They were really great together ‘til she left in search of something better Well that should have been it but it wasn’t Something told her it was time to move along Something about the words to her favorite song And she never asked if maybe they could be wrong CH2: When you’re looking for something it never ends Doesn’t always take a clean break ‘cause people can bend but we cling to our faith and seal our fate whatever.
