lyrics

There are things that I wanna do but I don’t make plans
Don’t you see that I’m struggling here baby won’t you give me a hand
Won’t you be quiet and face all the music going through my head
And I won’t be over it ‘til I go through it and reach the end

Am I crazy
Sometimes I think I am
Or just lazy
Let me lie here ‘til I’m an old man

There are days when I’m made of iron and can’t be destroyed
But the truth is sometimes I get tired power unemployed
Where is the valor to tell you the stories running through my mind
When I can’t be honest or even wholehearted I’ll try to be kind

Am I open
I like to think I am
Or just broken
Let me lie to you like an old man

You see that I’m struggling here baby
You see that I’m struggling here baby

I’ll just lie here ‘til I’m an old man
Wake me up when I am an old man
I’ll just lie here ‘til I’m an old man
Let me lie here ‘til I’m an old man
