Well I tried to take it slow, tried to take it slow but
The tempo started running, so I tried to keep up
Swinging back and forth, swinging back and forth like
My heart's a broken metronome, ticking faster all the time
Help me, somebody please, I can't seem to make up my mind
Tell me, I need to believe everything is gonna be fine
Oh everything is gonna be fine
Well I wanted to go back, wanted to go back to
When everything was so simply black and white
But how can I refuse, how can I refuse you?
When everything you give me is technicolor feeling, technicolor feeling
Help me, somebody please, I can't seem to make up my mind
Tell me, I need to believe everything is gonna be fine
Oh everything is gonna be
But I just can't take it any longer
No I can't do this all alone, anymore
'Cause I tried to take it slow, tried to take it slow but
The tempo started running, so I tried to keep up
Swinging back and forth, swinging back and forth like
My heart's a broken metronome, ticking faster all the time
Help me, somebody please, I can't seem to make up my mind
Tell me, I need to believe everything is gonna be fine
Oh help me, somebody please, I can't seem to make up my mind
Tell me, I need to believe everything is gonna be fine
Oh everything is gonna be fine
Oh everything is gonna be fine
