A letra:

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm lookin' for a reason not to go
When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

Every night, I ask myself again
Just what it was that made our dream begin
It seemed like a good idea way back then
But I'm wonderin' now what daydream took me in

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm lookin' for a reason not to go
When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

Yesterday, I tried once more to find
A way to share the trouble on my mind
It seems like you turn away every time
I used to like it here, I can't remember why

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay
Hey, I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm lookin' for a reason not to go
When the mornin' comes, I'll be on my way

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay
Yeah, I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
