Intro: Verse 1: Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor Got all of my papers out and read them Seems that I’ve been wanderin’ for a little too long Yeah the desert can be hot if you waste it Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe The hardest part is not seein’ what I used to see My fifth route to endeavor where it does all it can To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories Chorus 1: Where are my friends now? They’re not around when I need them I cannot pretend Yeah I find myself against all the odds again Verse 2: I like to think I’m strong and then I’m proven wrong Grab the keys to my car and go to work again Yeah showed up late Got screamed in my face Turn around I’m punched drunk But I’m laughin’ Got some thoughts in my chest they’re playin’ games with my head Ten hours of sleep I’m in my bed again Scream up to my God say "I do what I can" How am I gonna move out from this circus dance? Chorus 2: Where are my friends now? They’re not around when I need them I cannot pretend Yeah I find myself against all the odds again Outro: Yeah yeah I’m against all the odds again
