Tracking The Patterns Lyrics

I've been tracking the patterns

I've been watching the clock

And I know that none of it matters

But I just can't stop

I've been hearing the chatter

I've been letting them talk

But when I try to make sense of it after

The meaning is gone

I've been putting puzzles together

Finding where each piece fits in tight

But when I step back to take in the picture

It never looks right

I've been charting the weather

I've been tracking the light

But I still can predict it no better

Hope someday I might

I've been writing equations

I've been plotting the trends

But even after all calculations

It never makes sense
