Tables Turning

I made it into something I could see through

Just so I could look away

I’ve bitten into something that I can’t chew

Now I’ve got nothing to say

Taking steps to forget about what I knew

I was yelling “Come what may!”

Between two places tearing out the pages

Start to feel the binding break

I don’t know how you take it so easy

Don’t know why I’ve got to take it so low

I can feel the tables turning

I know I’m gonna have to let it go

This time we’re taking isn’t holding weight

Can we make it into something more?

You know you’re never gonna get an answer

Keeping one foot out the door

Beside my mind, pockets hanging open

You ask me what I came here for

Sometimes I think we understand the reason but

I can never be too sure

We made it through over the lines we drew

The ties were holding fast

Trying to find the words as the phrases turn but the moment passed

I catch my stride and settle into motion

Knowing that the chips are down

What you are holding isn’t just for show

Keep an eye on what you keep around

I couldn’t see the mark that I was leaving

Running it into the ground

I’m out here making circles trying to track down

Something you already found

I don’t know how you take it so easy

Don’t know why I’ve got to take it so low

I can feel the tables turning

I know I’m gonna have to let it go

I don’t know how you take it so easy

Don’t know why I’ve got to take it so low

I can feel the tables turning

I know I’m gonna have to let it go
