Clues Lyrics

Did you think that I was doing this out of love, out of guilt?

Because of all the things I felt when I was young, just a kid?

I'll tell you what the problem is, we're all scared to open up

We tell ourselves we're not enough, so many secrets that we keep hidden

I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out

Don't know what it's all about

But I wanna leave something behind

And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids

No, not everything I did

But I'll leave some clues to find

We're just getting started on this thing that we call life

So far, a real good time, oh, the stories I could tell

I'd like to think that I'm good-hearted, so I'll hold a little back

You know I've tried to stay on track, so I keep telling myself

I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out

Don't know what it's all about

But I wanna leave something behind

And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids

No, not everything I did

But I'll leave some clues to find

Thank God there weren't cell phone cameras in '98

Although life was pretty great, I'd rather leave you with a song

And sure, I probably had some fun in 1999

It never ended up online, so I'm allowed to carry on

Did you think that I was doing this for anyone else but you?

It's as close to the truth as you're gonna get

So I'll sing my songs until they're gone, then I'll sit back and relax

Nothing more than simple facts, it's the truth, so you can bet

I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out

Don't know what it's all about

But I wanna leave something behind

And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids

No, not everything I did

But I'll leave some clues to find
