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.

Everything you ever told me could have been a lie

We may never have been in love

Stuck on thinking that there is always something to lose

Or a hit from above

Or a hit from above

I don't need what I'm holding

What I'm holding on, I wish I didn't know

But meanwhile

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Expectation is taking its toll

'Cause everything you ever told me could have been a lie

We may never have been in love

And then I would escape

I'll never, ever have to see another disappointed face

No one to please

Every now and then, it feels like

In all of the universe, there is nobody for me

I told myself I wouldn't care, no I wouldn't care

But when she said she'd come 'round

I combed my hair, yes I checked my hair

Oh and meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuation does make me feel old

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuations are aching my soul
