To Return Now

[Verse 1]
Standing up to the world and all you see now
Telling yourself you've gone away for good now
But there's not enough time
And no really good reason to return now

[Verse 2]
Feeling horrid and happy seems the same now
A crazed grin and furrowed brow's the norm now
But you know there's a difference, a subtle inhibition
That you try to block out of your fragile mind now

[Verse 3]
Giving all that you've got to think good thoughts now
And you find you've given all of it to her now
But there's not enough time
And no really good reason to return now

[Verse 4]
I've heard 'em say everybody plays the fool now
But I'll never be anybody's dupe now
'Cause there's not enough time
And always a good reason to return now

[Bridge]
I've felt pain, I've been anesthetized
By sharper tongues and brighter eyes
Weak at the knees and petrified
I've bowed down before and fucked my pride
Last time I went away
Was only when I was out of my mind
But this time it's for real
And I can't get myself to get up and return now

[Outro]
Get up and, get up and return now
Get up and, get up and return now
Get up and, get up and return now
Get up and, get up and return now
