"I've always lived on a wing
and a prayer and little bit of luck
and a few good friends.
Yeah I know it's been a rough road
but somehow I don't think that's what'll
matter in the end.
Did we listen? (When) somebody said
they don't feel so good?
Did we watch our step?
And only walk on the ground like we should?
I've never been into a fling from a stare
from a happenstance by a singles bar.
Yeah I really wanna know your middle name
I want to think that I know who you are.
And I'll try to listen
and I'll try to be so good
'cause when you turn and walk away
I want you to think that you've been understood.
I've never marched to the beat of a drum
from a field full of drummers wearing uniforms.
I may not know where I'm going right now
but that doesn't mean I have to conform
But I'm gonna listen
I'm gonna try to understand
and if you point to the spot
I'll try to be right there when you land.
As the afternoon - rolls on into the night
I'm gonna slow it all down, and check to see that everyone is alright.
