lyrics

The world moved on without me but that’s fine.
I guess it was naive to think I’d keep my spot in line.
While endlessly wrestling perpetual time.
I never found the reason or the rhyme.

The world moved on without me, but that’s cool.
The boredom makes me sleep and when I sleep I tend to drool.
I should’ve paid attention more in school.
The world moved on without me, but that’s cool.

Still, nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2,
Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who wait long,
But I’m just dying to relate.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who wait long,
But I’m just dying to relate.
Yeah, I’m just dying to relate.

The world moves on without me and that’s how it’s gonna be.
One day my carbon will be repurposed by newer living beings,
While love and sex adjoin like sand and sea,
The bees collect the pollen and the birds make nests in trees.

The world will spin without me unaffected by my choice,
It took me 20 something years to find my own voice.
One day we bridge the gap from house to home, 
The tender art of construct is a task I do alone.

Still, nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2,
Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who wait long,
But I’m just dying to relate.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who wait long,
But I’m just dying to relate.  

Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2. 
Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back.

Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2,
Nothing moves me like you do.
I’m counting back, 5 4 3 2.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who try righting wrongs,
Well after the light is gone.
Wonderful things sometimes come,
To those who try righting wrongs,
Well after the light is gone.

Spinning round in circles,
I think I’m getting dizzy now,
Spinning round in circles,
With no way out.
The world moved on without me but that’s fine.
