Analysis of Just Asking
Wonder if your ways
If your means,
If your dreams have been false?
Look at why
The reason how
At what price did it cost?
To be where
you are now
How long have you been this way?
But, it's alright
Everything's okay
No need for you to worry
Where are you going in this world, and what does it matter?
Tomorrow is never here, so what is it you're after?
