I am twisting all the dials And I'm tweaking all the buttons And I'm sure that pretty soon Pretty soon all of a sudden It will hit me why I'm here What I came for why I'm leaving Why you're gone why you're gone why you're going why your gone I am dipping both my feet into the waters of both rivers Under both sides of this bridge that I have built to sit and think on I have built from bank to bank I have built to sit and think on, sit and think on Think of you think of you sometimes
I am pacing up the corridor And pacing down the hallway I am pacing in the kitchen In the bathroom, through the doorway Of my bedroom, past the living room I panic past the front gate Till it happens, till it happens Something had to happen
I am hammering the seconds on the table with my pencil And my feet dissect the minutes through the hours And the calendar you gave me I have shredded page from page, Day from day from page from day I cannot breathe for fear of failing I cannot see all these bottles full of nervous words And jars of lame excuses All these bottles and jars of lame excuses
