The grass looked greener on the other side
|
So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand
|
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
|
And, well you know, I got spit back on dry land.
|
Verse 1:
|
Give me purity and give me continence
|
But oh no, not yet.
|
Like a coin hiding in the corner
|
Trying not to be swept
|
And I was trying not to be swept.
|
|
Kicking against these goads
|
Sure did cut up my feet
|
And didn't your hands get bloody
|
As you washed them clean (you washed them!),
|
|
Chorus:
|
Here I am again, back where I began
|
Try as I may I can't get away from you
|
And all of these roads lead me to roam,
|
Bring me back home.
|
Here I am again, back where I began.
|
|
Verse 2:
|
So you have yourself your ninety nine (ninety nine),
|
Isn't that enough for you?
|
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
|
Carried me on your shoulders too.
|
|
I've done the work of Sisyphus
|
Thinking that I could get over this hill
|
But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)
|
Is the force of your will.
|
|
Chorus x2
