It's a wonder, wide eyed wonder You're just a nickle away Living in your shadow all this time
Always loved your kind of leaving I ain't got nothing to say But I'm saying nothing anyway
The clock on the wall is crooked, your time is running out I suck down the deadly coffee wasting in your cup The back of my neck is itching, look me in the eye Not such an easy matter, it takes you by surprise
Like a pistol, something's backfired I never promised a thing Can you build a bridge and never cross?
First a whisper, nervous laughter And then the shock of the sting Toss me right and left me at a loss
The back of my neck is itching, look me in the eye Not such an easy matter, it takes you by surprise The clock on the wall is crooked, your time is running out I suck down the deadly coffee cooling in your cup
It's just remarkable the way she turns away Then turns her back again, am I lover am I friend? Nothing is so neatly planned Pull my teeth out of your hand
What's a boy, what's a boy supposed to say When his pride is shaking and his courage slips away? What's a girl, what's a girl supposed to do In a turn of the watch...?
It's a wonder, wide-eyed wonder That you turn away Turn away From me
