Another constellation dies Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky Just call me when the phone stops ringing Thanks for coming by I'm just glad I'm on your good side Where it's smoldering you're freezing It's never all that easy to decide This is the land of a thousand words But it seems so few are worth the breath to say Sit doubting looking after my own worth And you just keep on saving the day I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far I'm on the run to wherever you are And that's the nature of the chase You fall so far behind you end in first place Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret There's no harm in playing hard to get Boundlessness deceives me But baby you may turn the corner yet This is the land of a thousand words But it seems so few are worth the breath to say Sit doubting looking after my own worth And you just keep on saving the day I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far I'm on the run to wherever you are I'm not gonna do everything you say Tried to stay but time is running out But now I'm on my way (to where ever you are) I'm not gonna do everything you say Tried to stay but time is running out But now I'm on my way (to where ever you are) I'm not gonna do everything you say Tried to stay but time is running out But now I'm on my way (to where ever you are) I'm not gonna do everything you say Tried to stay but time is running out But now I'm on my way
