Lyrics: Answer Man
Album: Musical Chairs
Artist: Hootie & the Blowfish
 
You must retreat now

I just can’t talk anymore

Your words make me empty inside

There’s nothing left of you 

Time seems to change 

Thoughts I have for you

Now I’m so alive

But you seem to be 

Drowning every minute 

I say that’s life

You say it’s alright 

I can’t be your answer and

I don’t want to follow you

Into your cloud 

I am tired of being the one

To live and learn from your mistakes

I’m just so sick of my mind 

It sees us like a light

Shining bright

In the middle

Don’t you see us smiling now 

You say that’s life

I say it’s alright 

CHORUS 

Please open your eyes

See where you sleep tonight

I hope you never call it home

But your bound to live bound to die in it

You say that’s life

I say I’ll still be here 

CHORUS
