i've been living like i know i'm alone
and ever since everyone's left i've felt it worse than before
but we gotta do what we gotta do
haven't felt this far from myself in a while
worried and wondering if i'll keep it together somehow
sometimes you win, but most times you lose
the nights are always long and the morning always comes
and the moon is pulling oceans - i'm burning from the sun
i fall with the leaves then despise the trees
everybody leaves, but not everybody goes
and if the moon can pull the oceans who knows?
but we gotta move where we gotta move
and i gotta do what i gotta do
and you gotta do what you gotta do
and we gotta do, yeah we gotta do
and I gotta do with or without you
seems like I would know by now -
everybody on a fading, dissipating cloud
