How do we know

I want to make this concrete
I want to make this firm
I want to decide something
But I'm scared of what I'll learn

I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else

How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer

I want it all right now
All the answers at my door
I know it's wishful thinking
But I still want more

I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else

How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer

We can't go back in time
That's why we think about it day and night
That's why we think about it day and night

How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer

How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer

I will decide something
Another lesson learned
I will write it down
So the memory doesn't burn
