about

Co-written with Rob Stanley.

lyrics

He clocks in just after midnight
His world begins when the day is done
Livin' side by side with millions
Who never see the sun

Lookin' for the road to freedom
Paved with faces from the past
Walking slow toward the questions
They never thought to ask

Everybody got the answers
Comin' at you hard and fast
No one talkin' 'bout the questions
We never thought to ask

On a Wednesday in November
She's back behind the bar
Teaching someone off a night shift
How to fix a broken heart

They both see the glass as half full
And they know that it won't last
They're just lookin' for the questions
He never thought to ask

Everybody got the answers
Comin' at you hard and fast
No one talkin' 'bout the questions
We never thought to ask

I was born this side of midnight
Didn't see no silver spoon
Didn't see no easy answers
Just some howlin' at the moon

Chasin' memories 'round the corner
All but runnin' outta' gas
In the shadow of the questions
I never thought to ask
