lyrics

Lately I’ve been falling back--retreat to the back of my mind.
Disengaging: pull my plug from the hole, it’s been draining my soul,
almost dry.
Maybe I can sit it out--watch it work without me at all.
And it’s hazy, but I can recall when I had it all in control.

And I don’t mind watching time fly when she flies back around in the spring.
And I don’t mind being tethered down--it’s the only thing that keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away. It keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away.

Lightly the world spins below--it’s a treadmill for those on the ground.
On a spacewalk with a moon’s eye view, I see all of you thrash around
Like you don’t know that you don’t need to run full speed to the grave.
‘Cause when you push me and you pull me, it’s the only thing that keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away. It keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away.

Shake me if I’m lost in dreams and there’s something that needs my reply.
‘Cause I know that in the grandest of schemes there’s nothing that needs me to try.

And I don’t mind watching time fly when she flies back around in the spring.
And I don’t mind being tethered down--it’s the only thing that keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away. It keeps me from floating away.
Please, keep me from floating away.
