There's never a day When I've got nothing to do Something to me Might mean nothing to you So don't don't don't don't Look at me strangely now We'll find the line That's in the middle and run Something, something or nothing You say you love to spend days But I will save mine Waiting for the sun in your eyes To turn the river to wine But don't don't don't don't Look at me strangely now We're gonna find the line That's in the middle and run
