Answer Man

You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothin' left of you

Time seems to change
The thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive but you seem to be
Drownin' every minute

But that's life
I say it's alright

I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

And I
I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind

It sees us like a light
Shinin' bright
In the middle
Oh, can't you see us smiling now?

And I say that's life
You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

I can't stand out and say
I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never come at home
But your bound to live bound to die in it

And you say that's life
I say, I'll still be here

I can't be your answer and
(I can't be)
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud
Your clouds

And I can't be your answer
(I can't be your answer)
I can't follow you down
(I can't follow you)
Into your cloud
