Standing on a corner
Looking for a thrill
She asked me several thousand times
Why does your world stand still?

Couldn't find a reason
To keep her satisfied
All she ever asked from me was,
Why does your world stand still? and...
Why do you run away?

If only I'd asked her,
To make my world turn faster
I'd stay but how do I say goodbye?
This time.
What did I learn from this?
I really wanna know

Smiling as she walked away
'cos precious is her time
I stumble as I call her name but
All of the words got tied up (all of the words)
I can't seem to get it right

If only I told her
'Cos now my world is colder
I'd say I don't want to say goodbye, this time.
What did I learn from this?
I really wanna...


Feel like it's going somewhere,
Nothing ever seems to grow 'round here.
