Choices

Tonight the penny's dropping
And I'm feeling sick
I'm tryna find a hold
On this I'm already slipping down
It's too late now to find
Some way to see the truth
In such a miserable place
If you want to go and play
You gotta learn all the games
You turn away
As if I even cared anyway

I'll wait this time
But if the lives all around me
Crumble to the floor
And I end up sad and lonely
Oh I don't know what to do
Will you wait this time
Until my head stops ringing
One thousand different chimes
And the ground that's below me
Shows me the way to go home

If I promise now to lighten
Up before the night's done
Can we go somewhere
And talk meaning in all this pain
Is it too late now to say
The things I've thought
But never said
Cause feelings come
But words just get away
I Think I'll call it a day
And try again another way

I'll wait this time
But if the lives all around me
Crumble to the floor
And I end up sad and lonely
Oh I don't know what to do
Will you wait this time
Until my head stops ringing
One thousand different chimes
And the ground that's below me
Shows me the way to go home
