Feeling restless, alright

The devil I know is by my side

Now I know I chose this life

But I swung this direction in a different time

Now I'm up here standing still

All potential and zero thrill

Looking at what I have built

And ready to fall wherever my heart wills

Then when everything falls through

I'll find the furthest thing from you

(Oh not again)

What can i do

(Oh not again)

I guess the pendulum swings

(The pendulum swings I think I'm just along for the ride)

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

(Don't look to close, it's a ghost, it's the march of time)

The pendulum swings

She was pretty but you're smart

Maybe my standards just aren't on par

She was too close and you're too far

Maybe I should think before I ride this arc

She didn't treat me right

But you're too kind to be alive

(What have I done)

I'm wasting our time

(What have I done)

That's how the pendulum swings

(The pendulum swings I think I'm just along for the ride)

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

(Don't think too much, it's a crutch, it's a mark of pride)

The pendulum swings

Now I'm so afraid moving on means

I'll fall back to where I've been

'Cause I'm on a track swinging back and forth

Here while the planet spins

All I want to do is try to

Make the best of experience

But every time I think I'm there

I'm just somewhere opposite

That's how the pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

(The pendulum swings I think I'm just along for the ride)

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

(Don't look to close, it's a ghost, it's the march of time)

The pendulum swings

The pendulum swings

(Don't think too much, it's a crutch it's a rut)

The pendulum swings

(I am broken, I hope I can find my way home)

The pendulum swings

(It's just fate, it was late, a mistake)

The pendulum swings
