Hey, Hey Listen up
You know it’s been too long…
Here at dawn you rise to sleep me sleeping on your floor
While the waves off shore are sweeping us farther away
Because Gravity has got your feet
When picking up your pieces remember to tidy up
And clean up your mess
Progress, your life’s a mess…
You know you gotta understand this compromise
Cause’ the circle still holds true
While aging beauty makes us wise
And Scream out, “deep dark blue.”
You know you gotta understand
The things that you’ve done wrong…
Back when things went well,
When you you’d write without conviction.
Head to head, running with the wind,
Oh blue eyes, blind my sin.
While the Rogger Gry’s in other mind, there’s no light behind the door.
All my friends here know I’ve tried, but somehow they want more from me.
How could they possibly want more from me when all I’ve given has been
Given out for free.
Understand this compromise, the circle still holds true
While aging beauty makes us wise, and scream out, ”deep dark blue.”
You know you gotta understand this Compromise
Cause’ the circle still hold true
While aging beauty makes us wise
And Scream out, “deep dark blue.”
Well, this doesn’t matter anymore because the past tense resonates
1000 times, it’s sad but sure, “I can’t stand here without you.”
And “My heart is on your floor.”
So please remove your grip from me as I blindly find my way
Out of your door, cause all I know…
