There doesn't seem to be a choice
There doesn't seem to be a way
You remember when you were young
But now the years have made you older
What do you say to the child
Who only wants some time to play?
You only wanted to be someone
But life has made a fool of you
Everything you ever did
Just went through your stretching fingers
Everything just seems to fade
And all my thoughts just turn to hate
Try to realize all the time
But when I do, I just get nowhere [Instrumental chorus] While I watch things still go wrong
There doesn't seem much I can do
All you ever say to them
Is watch yourself, please don't fall over
But if you just take a look
You'd know the same has happened now
You never meant to take that way
But that's the way it always goes
Try to realize all the time
But when I do, I just get nowhere
But when I do, I follow you [Instrumental chorus]
