You stare out the window and cower,
You’re not a witch, you wont melt.
You look at the clock, another hour.
That’s the way that life goes when those are the cards that you’re dealt.
You told me the world’s barely turning,
I’m gonna fall off if I reach too high.
Said I’m like a child never learning,
I’m gonna get burned so why do I try?
When you sweep me away through an ocean
Inertia will keep me in motion
Don’t ask me to stay cause You know that I’ll say
Goodbye.
You’re like a dog in a purse that keeps on yelling,
You keep repeating a verse of the same old song.
You think that life is a storm; the sea is swelling.
You try and board yourself in I put my swim trunks on.
Then you sweep me away through an ocean
Inertia will keep me in motion
Don’t ask me to stay cause You know that I’ll say
Goodbye.
Im sifting away through these gray skies
Panning through tears for some sunshine
In your cloudy eyes
You think I don’t know,
Why you tell me to go?
So you can have misery for company when you’re on your own, and you’re all alone.
We stand with our backs to each other,
And we’re marching away ten paces wide.
If you don’t turn around this game is over.
You leave me nothing to say but goodbye.
