You lost your girl
You put her poster on a wall
Hoping that she might be returned
Out of answers, out of luck
You put a penny on a prayer
But there wasn’t much salvation to be earned
Clearly, this soul search must be adjourned
So in light of what I know
It’s all a myth
There’s no answers in the wind
She got caught up with God
She needed something new
While you got caught up with every goddamn thing that you knew
Now the only choice you have is to surrender to the cause
And figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do
When you’re at the beach
When you catch the whisper of a shell
You’ll find there is no wisdom in it’s call
Just like the colorcoded tags
In your catalogue of dreams
Did you really think they’d be any help at all?
All your diaries up on the wall
So in light of what I know
It’s all a myth
It’s all a myth
There’s no answers in the wind
She got caught up with God
She needed something new
While you got caught up with every goddamn thing that you knew
Now the only choice you have is to surrender to the cause
And figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do
All your diaries up on the wall
All the love letters in your drawer
And all the days you spent at the gym trying to look fit so you could get back at her
And all the days you could’ve just moved on
So in light of what I know
It’s all a myth
It’s all a myth
There’s no answers in the wind
She got caught up with God
She needed something new
While you got caught up with every goddamn thing that you knew
Now the only choice you have is to surrender to the cause
And figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do
