Every now and then
I glimpse it for an instant
From the corner of my eye

When I turn around
To face it down
It blurs and it gone

Looks like I'll have to keep it
In the back of my mind
Like a nearly forgotten song

Was it everything
Was it nothing
When I try to sing
With out something
I try to keep it in
But there's an opening
Was it everything
Or nothing

When I try to sleep
The answers to your question
Run all over my mind

The thing's I've tried to keep
By force or by nature
Put a scar on the ground

Was it everything
Was it nothing
Tried to keep it from
Ever happening
Was it everything
Or was it nothing
Was it everything
Or nothing
