I've been tracking the patterns I've been watching the clock And I know that none of it matters But I just can't stop I've been hearing the chatter I've been letting them talk But when I try to make sense of it after The meaning is gone I've been putting puzzles together Finding where each piece fits in tight But when I step back to take in the picture It never looks right I've been charting the weather I've been tracking the light But I still can predict it no better Hope someday I might I've been writing equations I've been plotting the trends But even after all calculations It never makes sense
