Lyrics
Let me set the scene now
Some town at some late hour
Someone being someone else
You say, ?That won?t help me?
I would tend to agree
There?s no help here, help yourself
Get up, it?s hard to breathe
Don?t say, ?I told you so?
If that were true, I had a warning
I think we both know
Warnings come and go
And now I wait until it?s over
There?s still good of course
I just won?t endorse
Something that tells me that I?m
Worth nothing until I?m worth nothing
If you?ve got your regrets
I?ll tell you a secret
One that we all seem to know
If there?s truth in plainness
But yet lies in sameness
You could bed down in the flow
Let up, it?s hard to leave
Don?t say you didn?t know
If that were true, you had no warning
