lyrics

Though it's more than I can stand
I won't be standing in the way, but it can't go on
What with all the little problems
That keep dragging on?

Took the freeway, took it straight to your door
Just for a conversation in a sound proof room
But it wasn't proof enough to calm
The fears that drove you to

And now we can't
Get it off the ground
Because you had
To have it bolted down

Well I'm sure it wasn't all that fun
To share a coffee table with a loaded gun
Or to deal with all the plots
And schemes and situations

Though you often have a point
I would like to point to some
That are at large ignored
You're the one that made it two from three
At first, so what's one more?

And now we can't
Get it off the ground
Because you had
To have it bolted down

And now we can't
Get it off the ground
Because you had
To have it bolted down
