How’d you ever end up in this place?
You can shrug it off – that’s not what’s written on your face.
A few good times that took a couple of years.
Driving full speed ahead with nobody steering.
Almost cam off track a few miles back - you don’t care.
There you go, running around again.
Diving headfirst in to any mayhem.
Don’t you know you’ve got to surface in the end?
I look forward to that day – you’ll be okay.
Don’t want to see you end up bitter like your friends.
You fall into that – there’s almost no way back again.
Forget the sad, angry, twisted and cruel
- they gave up by having nothing to say.
Just couldn’t possess your selflessness anyway.
There you go, running around again.
Diving headfirst in to any mayhem.
Don’t you know you’ve got to surface in the end?
I look forward to that day – you’ll be okay.
Lost, when the world caught up with you.
You set me off then let me down in truth.
And still you feel no pain, you think it’s “kinda cool”.
Don’t tell me anything, and don’t tell me what I want to hear.
Your empty gestures, lectures, pretense – mean nothing to me.
Why don’t you tell me that you’re full of it.
If you saw yourself, you know you’d have to admit.
Just before you got hurt, do you remember yourself anyway?
There you go, running around again.
Diving headfirst in to any mayhem.
Don’t you know you’ve got to surface in the end?
I look forward to that day – you’ll be okay.
