Jim Adkins explains [Sure and Certain is] “about how limiting your own ideas for perfection can be. That, in constantly gunning with blinders on for achieving your ideal expectation, you are limiting your ability to appreciate all the things surrounding you in the present.”
[Verse 1]
The clever ways I try to change
Happen and pass leaving me the same
Of course it must be something else
Leading questions I might ask myself
[Chorus]
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold
[Verse 2]
What you do works for a time
Until you drop without a warning sign
If you keep going on like this
I'll be one more thing for you to miss
[Chorus]
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Sure and certain
Wander 'til we're old
Lost and lurking
Wonder 'til we're cold
