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 feel 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.

I'm 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.
