Track Name: Turning Turning
I can't help but feel ashamed
To think I ever gave you the time of day
The worst thing that I ever did for us
Was spend my time and money on the ticket for that bus

Time was so important to me
But still I let you waste mine in the guise of being free
And as for dealing with your sleight of hand
I get paid more to do less in some promised land

Did you realize it would be the end
When you got told that you didn't have any real friends
I didn't think it was so mean of me to point out
Cause every time I saw you there could be no doubt

That your talk worthy of a playground year
Would kill me with its total lack of playground cheer
You could cut your head clean off for me
But still I don't think I'd believe that you could ever bleed

So I left my coat up in your hall
And all my favourite books are still trapped inside your wall
But that's a price I'm too willing to pay
If it means I'll never have to see your face again

Chemistry's a thing that's too easy to deny
And If it weren't I'd blind myself and stare up at the sky
Never knowing you would be a luxury beyond compare
But I'll make do with knowing you were never really there
