lyrics

Do I really want to do this
Go back into the ring of fire
Is there something I need to prove right now
Would I not be much happier quiet

As I sit and drink this coffee
That I’ve added water to
Would I not rather have a watered down life
Instead of singing here for you?

But instead I keep on going
Because I’m here on borrowed time
Tomorrow’s back into the office
I need to leave this stuff behind.

My friend once said music was glamorous
But I explained that it was not
And she insisted it was glamorous
I guess we all want something else.

If I really end up doing this
Heading back into the ring
I suppose it’s kind of glamorous
At least that’s what one person thinks

So I guess I’ll keep on going
Exposing all my inner fears
Tomorrow’s back into the office
Go back to what I’ve done for years.
