I wonder if he knows 
The pleasure that he shows
I can't seem to hide from the sounds around me
I wonder where she goes
Dressed up in those clothes
We just watch her drive away

A woman sees her friends 
Continuous distraction
She fills up the days
While she waits for phone calls
A life in evidence 
Is evidently lonely
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do 
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through 
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores 
We just want to keep on breathing 

My view is compromised 
With undernourished eyes
They watch and they wait
For an altercation
These boxes on the road
These overpriced abodes
Will somebody give them life

We occupy a space
With barriers and fences
There's no line of sight
Into this protection
Forgive us all a cheat
Is just another symptom
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences of things that we do 
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through 
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores 
We just want to keep on breathing 
We just want to keep on breathing 

We will watch and learn. 
We will watch you perform, 
Waiting behind the seat, 
Telling the tale. 

I wonder if he knows 
How far his pleasure goes, 
It all comes apart at the stroke of midnight. 
I wonder where she goes 
Now she's in some clothes. 
We just hear her drive away. 

Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing

We will watch and learn
We will watch you perform
Waiting behind the scenes
Telling the tale 

I wonder if he knows 
How far his pleasure goes
It all comes apart of the stroke of midnight
I wonder where she goes
Now she's in some clothes
We just hear her drive away

Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing

Life just a list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
