lyrics

You say you want me
But I am not wanting
You say you need me
But I am not needy
You say that I’m taking
But I am not greedy
Say it’s unfolding
It’s over believe me

You say I’m washed up
But I am still lending
I’ve fallen on hard times
But I am still spending
You say that I’ve sold out
But I am still vending
Say I’m withholding
But I’m not pretending

Are you at home maybe thinking about me
Wondering aloud about what could’ve been
Or was I a blip upon your radar screen
Wipe the slate clean
Lord I’m getting in and I’m lockin’ the door
Kickstart the engine four to the floor
Lay down some rubber peel to the core
Watch me score

You say you’ll hold me
But I am beholden
You say I’m cautious
But I feel emboldened
Say that I’m guilty
There’s nothing I’ve stolen
You say I’m tarnished
But I’m shining golden

You say I’m uncaring
But I am still tending
You say I’m wounded
My fences are mending
You say that I’ve broken
But I am still bending
You say I’ve fallen
But I am ascending

Look straight ahead and I won’t double back
Engine is tuned without any slack
Separate the fiction apart from the facts
Stay on track
Are you at work maybe reminiscing
Pondering about what you couldn’t foresee
Or was I a footnote in some magazine
A page rarely seen

You say I’m mistaken
But I’m comprehending
You say I’ll be fine
You’re so condescending
You say that i am lost
My status is pending
You say I’ve withheld
The message I’m sending

You say I’m unguarded
But I’m good and ready
Say I’m unstable
I’m solid and steady
You say I sing one tune
But I’ve got a medley
Say I’m unexpressive
I’ve said it already

Am I a bug splat upon your windshield
Minor distraction lost in the breeze
Inconsequential irrelevantly seen
Press on full steam
And I’m left thinking it could the day
When we cross paths on our merry way
I might smile but I’ve nothing to say
Be it as it may
