I saw you walk across the plaza
Figured I'd just play it like it lays
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I think I'm gonna be real sick again

But I don't want to talk about it now, okay, okay?

I don't want to deal with it anymore
I hear the cogs all slipping at the same time
And then I see you walk in through the door

And it's gonna be just you and me today
Waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tampa Bay
