| Back and forth, I sway with the windResolution slips away againRight through my fingers, back into my heartWhere it’s out of reach and it’s in the dark
Sometimes I think I’m blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin’ away But I know, there’s a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I’m somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I’m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin’ face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of yes and no In an ocean of maybe From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium’s there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I’m somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I’m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it’s out of reach and it’s in the dark Sometimes I think I’m blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin’ away But I know, there’s a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I’m somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I’m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together in… between My love and my agony You see, I’m somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Somebody put me together Somebody put me together Somebody put me together… |
Jack be nimble, Jack be quickJack jumped over the candlestickBe he alive or be he deadI’ll grind his bones to make my bread
Sometimes in nursery rhymes Mother goose is a pessimist Because there was an old woman who lived in a shoe Who had so many kids she did not know what to do But I know, that she was livin’ in there Lil’ Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet Eating curds and whey While Humpty Dumpty sat on… a wall And Humpty Dumpty had a… great fall All the king’s horses and the… king’s men They couldn’t pick up the pieces They couldn’t put him together Eensy spider went up the spout Down came rain, and it washed him out Out came the sun and dried up the rain And then the viscious cycle repeats again Good thing our kids don’t know How depressing the story is From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline But for Jack and Jill they everyday both must climb Up the hill, but let me give you a scare Jack fell down an’ broke his crown an’ Jill right behind Like Humpty Dumpty did on… that wall And Humpty Dumpty had a… great fall All the king’s horses and the… king’s men They couldn’t pick up the pieces They couldn’t put him together Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candlestick Be he alive or be he dead I’ll grind his bones to make my bread Sometimes in nursery rhymes Mother goose is a pessimist Because there was an old woman who lived in a shoe Who had so many kids she did not know what to do But I know, that she was livin’ in there Lil’ Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet Eating curds and whey While Humpty Dumpty sat on… a wall And Humpty Dumpty had a… great fall All the king’s horses and the… king’s men They couldn’t pick up the pieces They couldn’t put him together on… a wall And Humpty Dumpty had a… great fall All the king’s horses and the… king’s men They couldn’t pick up the pieces They couldn’t put him together They couldn’t put him together They couldn’t put him together They couldn’t put him together… |
