I have seen a mountain that I know I'll never climb.
I have stood by the ocean, never learned to turn the tide.
Didn't need to join the circus, or hop a roller coaster ride.
I can't afford to spend any more time out of mind.
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
Maybe we're lost in what we want, not what we need.
Everything is never enough,
Takes you away from what you love.
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
The ironies of life hurt so hard sometimes it makes me laugh.
And sometimes the real thing is better than the photograph.
Hellos and goodbyes and so longs and don't cries remind me of what I lack.
All the expectations have become a burden hanging on my back.
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
Maybe we're lost in what we want, not what we need.
Everything is never enough,
Takes you away from what you love.
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
Tomorrow will always be a mystery
Another run at trouble, a chance to be free
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
Maybe we're lost in what we want, not what we need.
Everything is never enough,
Takes you away from what you love.
Maybe we're not supposed to try everything.
