This started as a text message with my best friend, Lisa. Most of the first verse contains the actual messaging going back and forth. After that, I fall into the whole existential crisis recognizing the, sometimes frightening uncertainty of life... and eventually accepting the uncertainty of life.
Lyrics
Uncertainty
she asked how I was doin'
said I'm hangin' in there
I'm not sure where there is
I hope it's far away from here
every day is a question
every answer incomplete
I may have overdosed
‘cuz I lack what you believe
wheels rollin' down
this ol' highway I am bound
on this journey
down this old rocky road
the next episode
of uncertainty
if love is a song
wish I knew the tune
feelin’ like an old wolf
howlin’ at a full moon
running through the tumble weed
until I’m out of breath
can’t catch what I don’t need
until there’s nothing left
wheels rollin’ down
this ol' highway I am bound
on this journey
down this old rocky road
the next episode
of uncertainty
today it's all around me
can’t be exchanged
can't predict what isn't known
it’s all subject to change
every turn undecided
the next moment in between
everything unpredictable
and destiny unseen
wheels rollin' down
this ol' highway I am bound
on this journey
down this old rocky road
the next episode
of uncertainty
