Lyrics
In time I'll be doing fine when I'm on the radio
I thought a lot today, I turn it down when it's in my way
And it's fine to realize that you mind
Well it's everything I know
Something's got to give
You found a life maybe you don't want to live
Chorus-
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
What I need now is a day
I do it all to get you off still you tell me I don't know
This love is not the same
I turn away when you're calling out my name
And you're trying to prove you're right
So I just don't come home
Something here is wrong
Why the hell have I been holding on this long
Chorus
What's that you said where have you been
Where have you been why don't you just leave me alone
Chorus Out
