You're deep inside your fortress of solitude Doin' what you always do... You say "who goes there? Is it friend or foe?" But nobody is listening to you You pass judgment on the outside world With your electronic force field on... And when you're out there mixing with the enemy You'll never crumble... boy you're so humble! You got the thickest hide to keep the truth inside Yeah all that crippled emotion Can't wait to see your eyes the day you realize It took a slip of the tongue Now you're a drop in the ocean You rehearse your sentences before you speak Every word is like an act of war You're always counting other peoples' mistakes Yeah it's just your way of keeping score You're always measuring the size of yourself Against the people you can't control They're always the ones you depend on most They'll never know you – no one could ever show you But you're comin' down to size So ride them lows and highs Out on a sea of emotion Can't wait to see your eyes the day you realize It took a slip of the tongue Now you're a drop in the ocean But there's something on your mind It gets you every time You set your ego in motion Oh you're comin' down to size So ride them lows and highs You're ridin' on a sea of emotion Can't wait to see your eyes The day you realize yeah It took a slip of the tongue Now you're a drop in the ocean
