Well how do I start?
I'm the most stubborn person that I know.
I choose a direction but go the other way.
Lord, help me I'm the most stubborn person I know.
The famous last words will be,
I told you so.
Heat is swimming all around and the world just seems to be slowing down.
I'm stranded and I don't know where I'm going.
But all I can do,
All I seem to do is think of you.
I really should make a start,
I seem to be waiting for a dream that's not arriving.
I have this life but I'm too scared to live it.
Emergency, I'm afraid I'll end up a stray.
The famous last words will be,
I told you so.
Heat is swimming all around and the world just seems to be slowing down.
I'm stranded and I don't know where I'm going.
But all I can do,
All I seem to do is think of you.
The words I told you so,
Swim around like sharks in a tank.
The words what are you waiting for,
Flock like birds and I told you so.
I told you so.
Heat is swimming all around and the world just seems to be slowing down.
I'm stranded and I don't know where I'm going.
But all I can do,
All I seem to do is think of you.
