Lyrics
Watch The World Going By
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.
Do I feel like I should, is there more?
Can I steal and pretend it's just reward?
Can I pad all the love I've never had?
As I watch the world goin' by
Am I soon, or am I just too late?
Are your arms for preventing my escape?
What we've found isn't love, but isn't hate
As we watch the world goin' by
Watch the world goin' by
The times we've lost were times we've never tried
Watch the world goin' by
You begin and you give like there's no end
Somewhere, someday, the pieces start to break away
Do you see all the things that meet the eye?
As you watch the world goin' by
Watch the world goin' by
