Then the rain came down
And washed all hope away
And your life's a train
But it only goes one way
What about the times when you were happy?
Balance them against the times you're sad
Was there once a time when you felt lucky
Or do you regret the times you've had?'
Cos sometimes
I feel I live in a tinderbox
And just one spark sets the whole thing off
And sometimes
I see the light die within me
And the flame go out, leave me in the dark
When your world's a mess
And imbecility gets you down
When you can't accept
The stupidity that's around
What about the times when you were focused?
What about the times you know who you are?
Do you find it hard containing your emotions?
Do you find it hard to just get out the door?
I'm hangin' in, you're hangin' on
I'm hangin' in, you're hangin' on
Then the rain came down
And washed all hope away
And your life's a train
But it only goes one way
What about the times when you were happy?
Balance them against the times you're sad
Was there once a time when you felt lucky
Or do you regret the times you've had?'
Cos sometimes
I feel I live in a tinderbox
And just one spark sets the whole thing off
And sometimes
I see the light die within me
And the flame go out, leave me in the dark
When your world's a mess
And imbecility gets you down
When you can't accept
The stupidity that's around
What about the times when you were focused?
What about the times you know who you are?
Do you find it hard containing your emotions?
Do you find it hard to just get out the door?
I'm hangin' in, you're hangin' on
I'm hangin' in, you're hangin' on
