lyrics

In case they wonder, where I’ve gone
Minds been drifting, moving on
My head is heavy but there’s no sense sharing it when no man leaves better off
And you want it all, of course

I can’t shake it, the feeling of
Losing focus, the war we lost
The impression that we’ve got things level but it’s each still out for their own
And I’m not for sale

And you don’t know which road is your do you?
You’re too young
and fools gold,
Is used up

Day after day, head in the waves
I’ve got no room left to move
Speaking in tales, right back to where I found you
Seperate and plain, unfortunately
I’ve got no room in my garage
For reckless escapes, shaped just the way I left you
Why’d you want to stay, I couldn’t get much further
There’s panic in the wake, and news in the water

But you don’t know which road is yours do you
You’re too young,
and fools gold
Is used up

And I guess it’s more than what you bargained for
I’ll escape everything you asked me for
I’ll leave my head outside the front door
At least if all else fails me, the rest I couldn’t know
For the less, or for the better
It’s all the same when the time comes
It’s in your face, and new situations
Tied to your waist, but I wanted more
Of course
