You don't have to set the world on fire
You're not that cool, not exempt from desire
To make your point so loud and clear
You're so sincere when it's down to the wire

I was under the wrong impression
I've got nothing to do, nothing to do
But to move in the right direction isn't easy to do
I wont go to waste
I wont hesitate
I wont go

You don't have to build a bigger wall
When what you've got is thirteen stories tall
We're all your friends
We love you, dear
But look in the mirror if you've heard me at all

You could call it an understatement
that I don't have a clue, don't have a clue
I was lost in our conversation
were you faking it too?
I've not gone away
I've not gone to waste
I wont go

Well I lost my way
I couldn't see it in the dark
So I turned back 'round
And I kept getting farther away!
But the hardest thing to lose (was you)...

I was under the wrong impression
I've got nothing to do, nothing to do!
Am I headed in the right direction?
I wont know 'til I'm through
Are you coming along or am I, am I following you?
I wont go to waste
I've made my mistakes
I wont go
