Clockwatching

Seems like the little things are slowly bringing you down
Pushing past your limits, I can see you reaching meltdown
How'd you flip into a habit of aching for anybody's praise
Why'd you want to take it on and hear what a stranger has to sayPut them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many timesSeems to me you pushed through and forgot the fact you need to feed your soul
That you can't hear the words you said to me so many times before
That you pulled me out of black holes, helped me level and carry on my own
Hadn't thought it true of you do as I say not as I have donePut them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many timesDid you take it on the chin?
Did you bite your tongue hard?
Did you hold back when
You were meant to dive in?
Did you think it a waste of time,
Lie and say it's all just fine?
Did you keep it to yourself
And turn a blind eye to help?
Tell me when you lost your heart
Gave up said it's too hard
Lost your place and get replaced
Were you shunted into line?
When you loose your trust in us
were the people that do love
You just the way you are
Now rise up boy you fell too farPut them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times
Put them back in the backseat
Your dues have long been paid
Too many times, too many times, too many times...
