Drive Like Carson - The Sensible Thing lyrics

I'd say it's still early on in the game, And I'm already running away, ashamed to be afraid. Wait, what about the things I had to say? You can't just take it all away from me. It's my life, so I decide. There's no sign of compromise. I swear I could've spun the world around while closing both my eyes Close my eyes But you failed to do the sensible thing You just gave me away Now no one's safe so please refrain from mentioning names I can barely sustain It was my mistake to emphasize material things You can't take me away I'm losing faith, I know it sounds completely insane, But I'm inclined to obey Just let me free,please, I'll do anything The phone rings, I'm lying awake waiting for company But the toll i pay is greater than I can take The first and last time I let them put me in my place I turned and ran from the flashing lights and thought I knew for sure But all these hazy mirrors won't let me see what I want to see Have I reached my goals? Have I sold my soul? It pays to be listening when you realize you can't speak anymore Just let me free please I'll do any sensible thing.
