You move in your ways without a law And I'll force you to feel the weight I'm standing on But the perfect harmony is lost As I watch you fall awake and ask, "What's wrong? Did I really miss all the work you've done?" (All the work I've done) Calling someone else is only harder I'll explain myself again Take the chance on someone's daughter She makes me feel like I'm the best The only time I see you smile Is after hours or the finish line But bring yourself to the edge Of the cliff And look upon The animals who wake before us at dawn (all the work they've done) Comfortable, unmotivated always Seeking other stories other memories I'm sorry I have to hold you longer than you expected It's only temporary I'll let you walk and make your own discovery That one of these days, I know that you might come back to me
