Verse 1
Please Mr. Finnelly
Don’t touch me face
Everything that I understand
Has been erased

Then when I try to build it up
It’s not replaced
Fillers for voids exist in yet
Another place

Verse 2
Time I spend consoling myself
Impedes my chase
Fears I thought were under my belt
Are just encased

Love the good and also the bad
It all sounds great
Make sure your happy to be the focal
Of this figure eight


Chorus 1
Oh wouldn’t you like
To drive just a little bit faster
Leaving behind
The matter and all the fuss
Oh never you mind
The laughter and running after
You in a line
You see this is not just us

Verse 3
Please Mr. Finnelly
Don’t waste the days
Do you not find it strange that you have never Been amazed
But I’ll allow you to dissect so I
Can hear you say
Exactly what I thought you would
Commiserate

Chorus 2
Oh I know you’re scared
Attachments
Seem like your best friends
You’ve come prepared
Dictating what we discuss
Oh give me your ear
I know you would like to listen
Unless you fear
Has told you to give it up

Verse 4
Geez Mr. Finnelly
It’s hard to take
You tunneling all your vision just to
Speed my pace
I’m thinking maybe if you saw me
I would hear you say
Yeah that girl I see that she
Is on her way

Chorus 3
Oh I won’t loose my hair
But no, it’s not fun to witness
You and your stare
Your couch and your “yes you must”
Oh you seem to take care
But oh, all the fun you’re missing
God it’s not fair
I know you would learn to love

Chorus 4
This is all fine
You think you have got the answers
I do not mindfully mean to shut you up
You take your time
But my hour’s up I’m leavin’
You’ve been so kind
I wish you elusive luck

Verse 5
So, you see Mr. Finnelly
I rest my case
You fail to find your waggin’ finger on
What has me crazed
And over all this time I think your plan was
To debase me
I honor your valiant effort
Go and join the chase
