Child on a Leash
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'm asking you why
I never get inside the place that
I belong
Whenever I
Think I've got a hold of you that's when
You're gone
And I'm feeling like a child on a leash
There's a hand just outside of my reach
There's a light on in another room
I'll arrive too late and leave too soon
I just die
Whenever I get sight of you you're
Movin' on
I wanna cry
When I think I've got it right and then it goes
All wrong
Where would I go? - it's always back to you
Where would I hide? - it's always back to you
What would I do? - it's always back to you
Forever back to you
Forever back to you
And i'm wondering why
I just die...
