[Verse 1]
Everything you ever told me could have been a lie
We may never have been in love
Stuck on thinking that there is always something to lose
Or a hint from above, or a hint from above
I don't need what I'm holding
What I'm holding on to, I wish I knew
But meanwhile
[Chorus]
Fluctuations are aching my soul
Expectation is taking its toll
Expectation is taking its toll
Cause everything you ever told me could have been a lie
We may never have been in love
[Verse 2]
And then I will escape, I'll never ever have to see
Another disappointed face, no one to please
Every now and then, it feels like, in all of the universe
There is nobody for me
I told myself I wouldn't care, no I wouldn't care
But when she said she'd come 'round
I combed my hair, yes I checked my hair
Oh and meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile
[Chorus]
Fluctuations are aching my soul
Expectation is taking its toll
Fluctuations are aching my soul
Expectation is taking its toll
Fluctuation is making me feel old
Expectation is taking its toll
Fluctuations are aching my soul
Expectation is taking its toll
Fluctuations are aching my soul
