LYRICS
Is This Thing On?
When all the things that you`ve been thinking
has you so confused and so unglued
your head is spinning
well we`ve all felt the same inside
I`ve been on that ledge countless times
and I know what that feels like
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
when all your friends don`t have the answers
and you`re so convinced that inch by inch
they`ve turned to strangers
we`ve all seen the different sides
no one hears even though you`ve talked all night
and I know what you feel like
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at, this thing on at all?
can we really measure if we`re any better
than that skyline that goes on and on forever on and on?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on
and a race against time i know what that feels like
but your on your own now
is this thing on
it`s the countless times that you talked all night
but your on your own now
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at, this thing on at all?
your on your own can`t make it through this world all alone
oh yeah, yeah. YEAH!
