No one wants to weigh things down, but they tend to fly away
And rescue teams will look for days
I like the way things are
I say abandon the search, for an author of small work
Until then, 
Until then
Until there's reason to think 
I've a shot at redemption
Until then 
I'm not talkin'
Yes but remember this
It's always been a long shot or worse
For an author of small work
I don't mean to weigh things down with fortune telling
Let's just see, when it all comes true we'll see
Until then, 
Until then
Until there's reason to think 
I've a shot at redemption
Until then, 
I'm not talkin'
No I've never been close, 
I thought you should know
No I've never been close, 
I want you to know
No I've never been close, 
I've never been close
But I've never been far away
No I've never been close, 
I've never been close
But I've never been far away
I like the way things are
Time to abandon the search
For an author of small work
Until then, 
Until then
Until there's reason to think 
I've a shot at redemption
Until then, 
I'm not talkin'
