She was a smart girl but she didn't think
the well was full - still there's nothing to drink
I got some money, but still it don't add up
how a girl like this can spend her life drinking from an empty cup
oh she's lost, la-la-la-lost
I got a friend who works too much
trying hard to find the end to the means
came from nothing, got nothing to lose
except he's losing sight of what is true in all his busy life
that boy's lost, la-la-la-lost
that boy's lost, la-la-la-la-lost
Maybe it's me but I can't see why
sometimes we choose to be blind
looking away, going day by day and
stumbling around in the dark
Spend our lives wasting time
running hard, still behind
so afraid of slowing down
gotta stop and take a look around and see what can be found
we're so lost, la-la-la-lost
lost, la-la-la-la-lost
