|
you swallowed your pride, |
|
moved back to the town you knew - |
|
the place where you'd hide, |
|
when it all seemed too much for you. |
|
|
|
when you're up, |
|
you long to see real faces. (counting) |
|
when you're down, |
|
you wish the world would run aground. (counting) |
|
|
|
closing the door, |
|
you pull down the dusty blinds. |
|
rubbing your eyes, |
|
you find ways to kill the time. |
|
|
|
it's seven-o-clock, then it's quarter to eight, |
|
you'd get out of the house, |
|
but you've left it too late again. |
|
|
|
when you're up, |
|
you want to hear real voices. (counting) |
|
when you're down, |
|
you wish the world would make no sound. (counting) |
|
|
|
when you're up, |
|
you try to find real love again. (counting) |
|
when you're down, |
|
you wish the world could not be found. (counting) |
