Clockwatching

Seems like the little things are slowly bringing you down Pushing past your limits, I can see you reaching meltdown How'd you flip into a habit of aching for anybody's praise Why'd you want to take it on and hear what a stranger has to say Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Seems to me you pushed through and forgot the fact you need to feed your soul That you can't hear the words you said to me so many times before That you pulled me out of black holes, helped me level and carry on my own Hadn't thought it true of you do as I say not I have done Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Did you take it on the chin Did you bite your tongue hard Did you hold back when You were meant to dive in Did you think it a waste of time Lie and say it's all just fine Did you keep it to yourself And turn a blind eye to help Tell me when you lost your heart Gave up said it's too hard Lost your place and get replaced Were you shunted back into line When did you loose your trust in us In the people that do love You just the way you are Now rise up boy you fell too fat Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times...
