Come on, oh, my star is fading

And I swerve out of control

If I, oh, if I'd only waited

I'd not be stuck here in this hole

Come here, oh, my star is fading

And I swerve out of control

And I swear I waited and waited

I've got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side

It's on your side now

Not pushing you down and all around

It's no cause for concern

Come on, oh, my star is fading

And I see no chance of release

And I know I'm dead on the surface

But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side

It's on your side now

Not pushing you down and all around

Oh, it's no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain

And I'm on my way back down again

Stood on the edge, tied to a noose

Sick to the stomach

You can say what you mean

But it won't change a thing

I'm sick of the secrets

Stood on the edge, tied to a noose

She came along and she cut me loose

You came along and you cut me loose

You came along and you cut me loose
