The Answer

When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have before it spreads to the deck?

When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have before it spreads to the deck?

Minutes?
Hours?
What time is it anyway?

How do you tell your family
That you just wanna quit school and play with your band?

When a fire starts burning
How much time do you have before it burns itself out?

And why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I doing here?

Why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I looking for?

Maybe school, or maybe love
Or maybe none of the above is the answer
Maybe for once I'll really try
Or fuck it all, and just get high
'Cause that's an answer
Feels like an answer

And who do I wanna be?

Question 23:

What's the furthest distance a ship can
Be from shore before it looses its signal?

What's the furthest distance a ship can
Be from shore before it looses its signal?

And why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I doing here?

Why do I feel like I'm choking lately?
What am I looking for?

Maybe school, or maybe love
Or maybe none of the above is the answer
Maybe for once I'll really try
Or fuck it all, and just get high
'Cause that's an answer

Maybe I'll practice my guitar
Or read a book, or steal a car
And steal the answer

I'll get a job and get paid
Or get a girlfriend and get laid
And get the answer

I'll join the army, go to war
Give up my smokes, or smoke some more
I need an answer!

Move to the village in my head
Wind up happy, wind up dead
Wind up in debt, wind up in love
Or maybe none of the above
Is the answer

Maybe it's okay that I don't have a plan and I don't have a clue
I'm 19 and that doesn't mean that I
Should know exactly what I wanna do
Right?
I'm 19 and that doesn't mean that I should know what I wanna do

I've got time to make mistakes, make up my mind
I've got time enough to find out all the answers

But I am scared and I'm afraid
That a decision won't get made
And I'll be like this forever
I mean, help
Need extra help
To find the answers, what's the answer?

I don't know.

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't, I don't know!

When a fire starts in the hull
How much time do you have before it spreads to the deck?

Pencils down,
Papers turned over

Time's up.
