Standing back before the angels get to me
Well, it seems such a sorry waste of time
Holding back on those who want the best for me
I guess I can't be blamed for trying

It's really very funny how it wears me down
Waiting for that something

Hey you, well I'm sorry but it's time to let you know
Hey you and it sounds a bit like preaching
I'd bend over backwards to let you know

Rolling back around the numbers on the wall
Well, it's sad 'cause I don't have much to show
Standing back before the angels get to me
Well, it seems the better way to go
