Thought i ran a tight ship here Both hands on the steering wheel Turning points and taking root Talk in peace and telling truth But at liberty and on the loose Ties don't really match my suit This town, oh how it ties me down It's overcast all year around Not aloud to make a sound I don't pretend that i forget The things i said Are played backwards in my head And i don't understand them And i won't understand why I don't want things to end and Keep waiting for the element of surprise I decide to go outside Say goodbye to wrong and right My dearest so called strong believe I'm not there until i leave Oh the throwback is what hits me hard Amidst the crowd i take heart From people with their headphones on Telling me silently to move on Don't look for what will come across... Don't look for what will come across... I don't pretend that i forget The things i said Are played backwards in my head And i don't understand them And i won't understand why I don't want things to end and Keep waiting for the element of surprise I don't pretend that i forget The things i said Are played backwards in my head And i don't understand them And i don't understand why I don't want things to end and Keep waiting for the element of surprise
