I started thinking about my life the other day
How so many things have changed
It seems the world today just keeps on going
We keep making the same mistakes

(chorus)
When do I know it, when do I show it?
So much I need to know
How do I keep up, and not give up?
So much I need to know

Where is the book that gives me all the answers?
Where do I find the way?
Why do I always have to keep on searching?
Just to make it every day

(chorus)
When do I need it, when do I bleed it?
So much I need to know
When do I show it, and not blow it?
So much I need to know

So much to know, so much to learn
So much to show, so much to turn
Falling behind, going nowhere
So much to comprehend

When do we realize that we’ll never know it all
What ever makes us think we will
There’s so much that’s worth fighting for
We just gotta follow through

(chorus)
When do I hold ‘em, when do I fold ‘em
So much I need to know
When do I say it, when do I play it
So much I need to know
When do I face it, and not retrace it
So much I need to know
When do I need it, when do I bleed it
So much I need to know
