| The phone rings and I don’t answer | |
| Good news always waits | |
| And I scream into the pillow | |
| But I never shed a tear | |
| So I tear away the blankets | |
| My heart beats bleeding knuckles | |
| In your eyes I feel the magnet | |
| Falling to the floor I melt | |
| I am higher than the mountains | |
| I am lower than the dirt | |
| All alone I sit and wonder if time will take away the hurt | |
| For years I walked in circles | |
| For a time I stayed within | |
| In time I learned my lesson | |
| Everyday my world still spins | |
| I’m the man around the corner | |
| Bottle in a bag | |
| Numbing pain inside me inside | |
| I step up into the sky | |
| There’s no room for the dreamer | |
| The world has shut its eyes | |
| Scratching icy fingers dig deep into my spine | |
| Your train has come and left you and there’s no other on the way | |
| Three days before the end of the month and I got no place to stay | |
| For years I walked in circles | |
| For a time I stayed within | |
| In time I learned my lesson | |
| Everyday my world still spins | |
| Now I’m looking out my new window, cigarette in hand | |
| See the empty faces scattered like the sand | |
| Not ashamed of the way I feel | |
| I know my world is real | |
| But time and time again I run away | |
| Not ashamed of the way I feel | |
| I know my world is real | |
| But time and time again I run away | |
| For years I walked in circles | |
| For a time I stayed within | |
| In time I learned my lesson | |
