Lyrics
I’VE BEEN WALKING THROUGH MY LIFE LIKE THERE’S NOTHING TO LOSE<br />
RUNNING WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS RED<br />
LATELY I REALIZE THERE’S A HOLE IN MY SHOE<br />
DOES IT MATCH WITH THE HOLE IN MY HEAD<br />
<br />
THE SUN GOES DOWN<br />
AIN’T IT FUNNY HOW YOUR FACE KEEPS COMING BACK AROUND<br />
WHERE ARE YOU NOW<br />
NOW THAT I HAVE OPENED UP MY EYES<br />
<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF<br />
IT’S TOO LATE BURNING IN MY MIND<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF<br />
TOO LATE I LOST MY PLACE IN LINE<br />
THERE’S WAS TRUTH IN IT ALL YOUR SUNDAY SERMONS<br />
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE ONE WHO’S HURTING NOW<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP, THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF<br />
<br />
WHAT WAS I THINKING AT THE END OF MY ROPE<br />
LET MY ATTITUDE GET AHEAD OF MY HEART<br />
SOME PEOPLE GET IT AND SOME OF US DON’T<br />
AS I LOVE ALONE IN THE DARK<br />
<br />
WHAT’S KEPT INSIDE<br />
ALL COMES OUT IN THE WASH AFTER AWHILE<br />
WHERE ARE YOU NOW<br />
NOW THAT I HAVE HAD MY BIG SURPRISE<br />
<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF<br />
IT’S TOO LATE BURNING IN MY MIND<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP KILLING ME WITH WHAT I HAVEN’T GOT<br />
TOO LATE I LOST MY PLACE IN LINE<br />
THERE’S WAS TRUTH IN IT ALL YOUR SUNDAY SERMONS<br />
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE ONE WHO’S HURTING NOW<br />
STOP, STOP, STOP, THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF<br />
<br />
TIRED OF BEING FREE<br />
IT GETS HARDER EVERY DAY<br />
CAUSE IN MY MIND YOU’LL ALWAYS BE<br />
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY<br />
<br />
