Rollerskating
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want to say it, though i know that it's true
Something you can't get past, something i can't get past
I don't want to say it, though i know that it's true
Something you can't get past, something i can't get past
Now when i'm standing still and others start to move
It's like a magic pill, i float right out the room
And i'm standing on the roof and searching for my car
But my legs refuse to move so i lasso me a star
Put on my rollerskates and go
Out into the space
I do not know where
But i go there with you
There ain't no reason to be sorry
Ain't no reason to be sad
There ain't no cause for us to worry
Go and rest your lazy eye
When it's best there'll be no lies
Now what have i done to desert you?
What have i gone and thrown away?
I would have never tried to hurt you
It hurts you more when i stay
I don't want to say it, though i know that it's true
Something you can't get past, something i can't get past
I don't want to say it, though i know that it's true
Something you can't get past, something i can't get past
Throw off these paper weights
And blow out into the space
I do not know where
But i go there with you
