lyrics

You can say anything you want
but I can see written on your face
those folks you've been seeing are not
given to see you this way

That everything you have you've got
by sticking your tongue out to taste
but sooner or later your senses are shot
and now their just part of your face

Yeah, you're like a girl, but you're not
you've been given too much with your age
but you got distracted by the things that you've sought
and now you're just drifting away

before I can leave I must stay
my weapons of silence are frozen
so I must now speak what I say
and stand in the place that I've chosen

You're ready to change, you won't
be here again for a long time
so you better make the most of feeling this way

Before you move on you must pray
your roster of players is stable
so you can tell all the next day
and do it again when you're able

And one more thing before I bugger off
I don't care how you move forward
just think of me once and then turn back the clock
that's counting the clicks til' you get bored

You're ready to change, but you will
be here again in a moment
but you better make the most of feeling this way

You're ready to break, but you won't
cause' you're gonna lay your head on my shoulder
and we can pretend you love me enough
to let me take the pain away
