How could they leave you standing Holding on to the air Never a hope of landing Didn't they know you cared You're finding out It's never quite like it seems You're finding out It's never quite like it dreams Didn't you get connected When things were still upside down Feeling somewhat neglected Turning the tide around It keeps coming up you again You're never to hard to find It keeps coming up you again They're taking up all your time It keeps coming up you Coming up you again However you want to take it With streamers of violet If only you could forsake it It stifles your etiquette
