Jar of Reasons


He‘s used to being pretty good at hiding

While the seeking part is not for him

Making sure he’s steering clear of striving 

Adding to the list of could’ve been


And the old jar of reasons 

Reasons of precaution 

He gathered ‘long the way 

Yeah the old jar of reasons 

He keeps on getting lost in 

And it wouldn’t work out anyway 


He’s used to being pretty good at fighting 

Each and everyone crossing his lane

Greet him with the truest kind of smile and

He’d still think you’d try and smear his name

And the old jar of reasons 

Reasons of precaution 

He gathered ‘long the way 

Yeah the old jar of reasons 

He keeps on getting lost in 

And the grass is full of snakes anyway 


Happened before

Could happen again 

Seek to destroy or hide within 

Happened before 

Could happen again 

Oh what could’ve been 


Behold the jar of reasons 

We so easily get lost in 

Cuts we gathered ‘long the way 

Some of them mean well 

Some of them are often 

Standing in my way 


Well I used to be pretty good at hiding 

While the seeking part was not for me

Lived my life in some kind of abidance 

With everything inside longing to be free
