Blues Traveler - After What lyrics

And if I take a different tack Well then forgive me if the long way round Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear That you're using the anointing oil like its sacramental beer And don't blame heaven or hell You have to look to yourself And nobody else will lift a light to make you see Don't got to learn a damn thing Part of being free And I realize When I buck my place It's my feet but it's their race And I don't run unless you try to chase me And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want What that is, I wish that I could say So forgive me or forget you If you think you cannot bear Believe me life won't let you If you blink you shall not fare But should you get the chance Try to make for the fence It's a subtle dance we do To stay in from the cold And the cleverest ones Get to be real old I may struggle I may complain But I'm just trying to grab at the reins And I don't run unless you try to chase me And I don't leave until you offer me a stay And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want What that is, I wish that I could say I don't run unless you try to chase me And I don't leave until you offer me a stay And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want What that is, I wish that I could say And if I'm wondering where to go well then forgive me if I don't know
