Bumper car me left or right
I’ll take a thousand knocks
There’s a happy man in there
And you won’t blink your eyes
Like all the things you lost before I
Right where you left me you know-oh
Like all the things you found
Mmm mmm
Don’t taste them just swallow them whole

I forfeit my time
And wait
While you make up your mind
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand

Lift me up or tear me down
I’ll stand right up again
There’s happy soul in there
But you won’t let him in
Like all the things we say before me
Crumble and fall to the floor
Like all the things we try
Aye aye
I know where it’s headed and so

I forfeit my time
And wait while you re-make up your mind up
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
I will deliver
Where you stand I will not fall
Where you stand there is no ocean
Nor a river nor a shore

I fall into line
And wait while you make up your mind
So tell me if you ever find your flag

I forfeit my time
And wait
While you make up your mind
So tell me
If you ever find your flag
Cause I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
Oh I will be right by you where you stand
