Clarks - Caroline lyrics

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can walk away You can polarize my friends, destroy the letters that I send or you can run away You can terrorize my neighbors with your Mr. Hyde behavior, you can drink away You can exorcise your demons, bite and scratch and kick and scream, you can act away And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line You can cauterize my feelings with your flaming tongue leave me reeling you can talk away You can compromise my pa**ion, call me fake and call me fashion, you can write away You can rationalize a purchase with my money and say it's worth it You can tear me up or tie me down and kick me on the ground And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line Caroline, it's a waste of time Don't you want me to come back Caroline? Don't you want me to fly back Caroline? You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can walk away You can idolize your drum machine, say the Beatles s** and dis the King and walk away You can finalize the ending, break the rules that you've been bending You can find a brand new lover, run away and then discover You can't outrun your actions, you can't get no satisfaction And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line Caroline, it's a waste of time
