[Verse 1]
He walks around my sentence, and he give me back no word
He talks to me in echoes, and it makes my mind absurd
To him, love is a turnstile to a supermarket store
And he’s just movin’ through it; going shopping, nothing more
[Verse 2]
Each time that I reach out to him, he moves out of reach
I ask him what he really wants, and he says, “one of each”
To him, I’m just a sometime thing he came across one day
A paper cup you used to drink, and then you throw away
[Refrain]
I know it’s time for me to go
Or I could lose my way
I know it’s time for me to go
It’s too much pain to stay
[Verse 3]
Hе’d listen to my music, and he’ll rearrangе my song
He writes down all my tender lines, and gets the spelling wrong
To him, life is a bad old joke he’s a-heard ten times before
He lives it just to be polite; as a favor, nothing more
[Refrain]
I know it’s time for me to go
Or I could lose my way
I know it’s time for me to go
It’s too much pain to stay
[Outro]
I know, I know, I know, it’s time to go
Or I could lose my way
I know it’s time for me to go
It’s too much pain to stay
