lyrics

Are you stuck in one place or moving way too fast
Have you given up on making anything last
Are you waving hello or are you waving you goodbye
I think I can tell by that look in your eye

That you’re running away again you don’t wanna face today
You’re always stuck on yesterday

Are you flying high or have you come down low
Never sure just where you should go
You’re making up the rules and then breaking them too
Everything’s just a great big game to you

Until you lose something real something you can’t fix
Life’s called your bluff and now you’re all out of chips

And you’re starting over again
Just like you always do
And you’re falling apart again
Just like you always do

Are you waving hello
Are you waving goodbye
Running away again you don’t wanna face today
You’re always stuck on yesterday
