Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life
watchin' people watch me watch them
can't believe a moment from one to the next
thinkin' that it's not their problem
no matter how much i might look at the world
my observations don't mean a thing
if i know the answer in the blink of an eye
to the many questions my life might bring
Chorus
We all need
(wisdom in small doses) a moment of truth
(wisdom in small doses) to know what is right
(wisdom in small doses) i know it
don't you know how i must feel
If the answer comes from somewhere unknown
just there without question or doubt
words that seem so matter-of-fact
the blind simple truth is found out
i don't take apart the things that i feel
i won't build on hopes that aren't real
i never look for the truth in a lie
the truth is part of how i must feel
Chorus
Can't believe that i might be like them
and i'm wonderin' if i'm alive
see, i'm stuck in a moment of truth
as i'm looking for answers to why
Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life
watchin' people watch me watch them
can't believe a moment from one to the next
looking for the answer again
i don't take apart the things that i feel
i won't build on hopes that aren't real
i never look for the truth in a lie
the truth is part of how i must feel
Chorus
Now you know how i must feel
