Lyrics
Around My World
It ain?t much but it?s all that I?ve got
It ain?t much but it?s mine
You don?t care but the guilt says you do
You close your eyes, walk by and say your fine
The city winter air whips through like shrapnel
No place to run and hide
So you hurry to the car and shut out the world
And you think in your mind you?ve tried?. Hmmm
Do you want to around, around the world
Do you want to go around my world
I ain?t looking for sympathy
I?m just looking for a good reason why
I?m living here in a cardboard kingdom
While you get on with your life
I got my whole story I?m dying to tell
But you don?t want to here
Yeah these aren?t your problems.. but maybe they are
And maybe that?s what you fear
Do you want to around, around the world
Do you want to go around my world
A few years ago I was just like you
A few years ago I though I had it all
Never knew I was dancing on a ladder
Didn?t think that I could fall
I was dancing in a mine field of deceit and deception
Be careful where you step
You?re busy counting all of your blessings
While I?m busy counting what?s left
Do you want to around, around the world
Do you want to go around my world
