The captive mind

Shame to shame when you fell apart
But you woke me up and the dreamer came to say,
"Please don't forget, just lay and wait"
Pain the pain when you played the part
And you took it all up and you turned your back away
"Try to forget, and we'll okay."

Read the words that I kept in mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But we spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, come back again

The same the same that you've always been
When you took it all up what it took to do you in
And all under and run away
Blame the blame on a broken heart
When you pack it all up and you make the start again
But call me up on my birthday

Read the words that I kept in mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But we spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, come back again

Gone in a boat
You're drifting so
The walls you built
The push and pull
Come back in
Come back in

Well you love the love what you could've stayed
You say you'd give it all up for the man that lay away
The plastic beach and passing plates
Shame the shame when you fell apart
But you hold me up and the dreamer came to say,
"Please don't forget, just lay and wait"

Read the words that I kept in mind
And you tried to leave the past behind
But we spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, please come back again
