My Own Hands Songtext
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Wait a minute, now. Thought I figured this one out
It's like I paid the ticket twice, but I never sat down
Waitin' for a reason in this shadow of my doubt
And everybody's pushin' me around

I read the signs like I was gettin' somewhere
Caught between my prayers and my tendency to swear
You'd be the one like it was written in the sky
By the finger of the needs of I (?)

Chorus:
I don't mean to be so cynical
Sometimes I think I've got the plan
Throw it all together now to see it fall apart
I'm takin' matters in my own hands

Well, wait a minute now, it's all gone to Hell
Try to get some water just to quench the flames
I fill the bucket but tumble on down the well
Love is somethin' curiously strange

Chorus

When the signs are pleasin'
The coincidence of consequence can seem like reason
When direction unravels
Can I turn around and justify the distance I traveled away?
Searchin' for a reason
Searchin' for a reason
Searchin' for a reason in this shadow of my doubt
Searchin' for a reason
Searchin' for a reason in this shadow of my doubt

Chorus

Chorus

I'm takin' matters in my own hands
