I take my time and i like to move slow
Why should i worry when there's nowhere to go?
I like things simple and my friends are alright
I tell no stories and i sleep good at night
Things were different just before i met you
Now i worry wonderin' what to do
I was happy never playin' your game
Now you tell me that your name is william wilson
I run up the staircase and there's nobody there
I play my records and then i haven't a care
My ears to the speaker and the heartache's forgot
Sometimes i'd forget you, other times i could not
I'd lie crying on the top of my bed
I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led
I would cry for you and call out your name
Now you say no one's to blame but william wilson
William wilson, william wilson
William wilson, let him run wild
I want to talk to him
I want to talk to him
Where is he now?
Where is he now?
I wanna be like him
I want to see him grin
Where is he now?
Where is he now?
I'd lie crying on the top of my bed
I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led
Now i understand we're both just the same
Now i tell you that my name is william wilson
William wilson, let him run wild
Let him run wild
