I Go To Extremes

Call me a joker
Call me a fool
Right at this moment
I'm totally cool

Clear as a crystal
Sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the
Prime of my life

Sometimes it feels like
I'm going to fast
I don't know how long
This feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight

Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens

And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes

Sometimes I'm tired
Sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know
How much more I've got

Maybe I'm headed
Over the hill
Maybe I've set myself
Up for the kill

Tell me how much do you
Think you can take
Until the heart in you
Is starting to break
Sometimes it feels like it will

Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens

You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes

Out of the darkness
Into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime

Either I'm wrong
Or I'm perfectly right
Every time

Sometimes I lie awake
Night after night
Coming apart at the seams

Eager to please
Ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes

And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes

Oh, I don't know
Why I go to extemes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens

You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know
Why I go to extremes

I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why

I don't know why
Into the light
Either I'm wrong
Or perfectly right
