Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now

When I was four I raised my finger to a moving car

It crashed so I assumed I had a superpower

I didn't raise that finger until I was nine

When a schoolboy attacked for the 25th time

Down I went, my index still up

So convinced that he would just drop

Powerless to make it stop

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now

At nineteen, I still just about believed in God

I guess that I was pretty late to shake it off

Faulty magic whispered to the man who could mend

I tricked myself in thinking he could cure my best friend

Two weeks in, his insides gave up

If drugs can't help, why would words bring him luck?

Powerless to make it stop

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now

Now my hands are pulling at the donkey's reins

I feel I've gone the wrong route down a dusty lane

The grass could have been greener down the first road I took

I'd give half my happiness just for one look

My lust to win is eating me up

The game I can't win up against my own clock

Powerless to make it stop

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now

Inexplicably high, inexplicably low

I think I know what I want but I don't know where to go

And all the while it seems that I'm living in my dreams

Not in the now, no, not in the now
