I think you got ahead of me
You got ahead of me
Walking back towards the sea
And moving steadily
As far as the eye can see
All is empty
No sign of anything
Resembling the living
So baby come home
Don't you leave me all alone
The knots you make ties you
Break life you take
All adds up to nothing, nothing but...
When you don't play by the rules
The days turn black and blue
I guess you got some things to do
I'll remember you
These are not the eyes of me
It's just a side of me
Rising like the tide of sea
Nothing more surprises me
Slip away so quietly
I am ready walking down the side of me
Please come cry with me
I think you got the best of me
Because the rest of me
Has lost all feeling
With no signs of healing
How can I just let it be
When everything isn't how it ought to be
It's my autobiography
So when the wind blows
Will you hit that lonely road
And never look back at what might have come to pass
So it became nothing, nothing 'cause...
When you don't play by the rules
The days turn black and blue
I guess you got some things to do
I'll remember you
I fell down from the top of the world
It's my farewell party
I'll sail off into the setting sun
I fell down from the top of the world
And these words of parting
Were written with love just for you
Please don't think less of me
Because the better me
That stands right next to me
Waits for me to set it free
I am what I used to be
To confused to see
Hasn't gotten used to me
Root, trunk, branch, leaf
That's the way it's supposed to go
I'm one my shoulder knows
Asking them to hold the boat
This the fit we chose to throw
Cold nights and lonely roads
I want you to know that you're the only one
That makes this life so beautiful
Say it like you mean it
Like you believe it
'Cause I best believe in
Going with the season
I appreciate you telling me
'Cause I was wondering
Why my ears are ringing
From each and every evening
So off I go back to things I used to know
And when I look back the good
And the bad times that we had
All add up to something, something 'cause...
When you don't play by the rules
The days turn black and blue
I guess you got some things to do
I'll remember you
When you don't play by the rules
The days turn black and blue
I guess you got some things to do
I'll remember you
