Figure 8
Everyone's trying to build something out of nothing,
There's a method in the madness,
I can't fathom but I've got to rush in,
I'm tired of being punished for dreaming honestly and,
Who says you can't be educated while you are in motion?
Help me baby,
Help me baby
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight,
Oh, nobody said it would be easy
You tried to look for another way and,
Seems to always be the long way down boy,
You can't outrun what was yesterday,
You can fall far enough to see
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight,
Oh, nobody said there won't be dancing
The televisions been telling us something different,
We're yelling at different levels I can't even begin to question it,
Who told us this was music? What happened to the voices,
that me how to sing and made me believe in it?
Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight,
Oh, nobody said it would be easy
Why must I fight for another word,
A smaller verse or refrain from it?
To hook you,
Won't make the cut for the radio edit,
But let's fight,
Get me someone to save it
How long have we got till breaking through illusions?
I'm picking up the broken pieces,
A mirror doesn't show the future,
But is it enough to make you a believer?
Well my mind is aching,
And the world is breaking,
Am I making up the complications?
Well my body's old and my thoughts are older,
But isn't it old enough for a little patience?
Isn't it old enough for a little patience?
I'm picking up the broken pieces
You tried to look for another way and,
Seems to always be the long way down boy,
You can't outrun what was yesterday,
You can fall, fall
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight
Oh, nobody said there won't be dancing
I've been patient
I've been waiting
Complicating
While we're waiting
I've been patient
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
There's a method in the madness,
I can't fathom but I've got to rush in,
I'm tired of being punished for dreaming honestly and,
Who says you can't be educated while you are in motion?
Help me baby,
Help me baby
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight,
Oh, nobody said it would be easy
You tried to look for another way and,
Seems to always be the long way down boy,
You can't outrun what was yesterday,
You can fall far enough to see
Oh, you thought your life was a figure eight,
Oh, nobody said there won't be dancing

We're yelling at different levels I can't even begin to question it,
Who told us this was music? What happened to the voices,

Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby,
Help me baby,
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening

Oh, nobody said it would be easy

I've been waiting
Complicating
While we're waiting
I've been patient
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
