you want a second opinionwell the water’s fine once you jump on in
you’ll get sick of the ocean
and if you’re trying to sink you gotta think not to swim
and you could learn it from me
just like i learned it from you back in school
and who you gonna believe?
you or me?
well, it’s up to you
you could have had it so good
and then it went out of style like they said it would
you never know what you want
you never know where you are when the lights are low
and if it rubs you wrong it rubs off on you
whatever rubs you wrong
just like it always was
just like it was when i wasn’t awake
i’m on your side
here’s the keys to the city
but you better watch what you’re wishing for
because it’s not like it seems
and all these dreams are rotten to the core
you could have had it so good
you would have folded your hand if you’d understood
and if you turn into me
i’ve got a surprise or two left in store for you
just like it always was
just like it was when I wasn’t awake
i’m on your side
it’s not like it was when i wasn’t awake
you’re shaking hands, i’m saving face
