As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go
With a fool like you, I will say anything you want me to
With a fool like me, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m amazed at how you take it all so seriously.
People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m runninâ"š¬â"ž¢ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t deny
Yes Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m doinâ"š¬â"ž¢ time, doinâ"š¬â"ž¢ time, and it wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t be long â"š¬í‹Å“til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when itâ"š¬â"ž¢s time to go, you better get ready, â"š¬í‹Å“cause now you know.
In a place like this, you abandon all hope, you just exist
You canâ"š¬â"ž¢t break the spell, well you know youâ"š¬â"ž¢re not in heaven, but you might be in hell.
People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they know
But Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m runninâ"š¬â"ž¢ out of alibis, I got one thing left that I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t deny
Yes Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m doinâ"š¬â"ž¢ time, doinâ"š¬â"ž¢ time, and it wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t be long â"š¬í‹Å“til I cross that line
Yes the day will come when itâ"š¬â"ž¢s time to go, you better get ready, â"š¬í‹Å“cause now you know.
As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoon
When you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go.
