Wind It Up Songtext
von Rob Thomas

Wind it up, let it go
When it gets to the other side, oh no

Wait a minute, can′t you see I'm lost?
I try to get it but I′m maybe too far gone
I think about it, baby, then I'm wrong
I try to beat it but I'm no good on my own
You say you don′t see, what you know about me?
I got a penchant for the revelry
Now I′ve been the best that I can be
But there ain't no good plans for me

Just wind it up, let it go
And when it gets to the other side, oh no
We will not care where it lands
When I′m wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says I'm crazy but why mind?
I′ll get my sleep when I'm dead


Right now I′m falling over but I'm keeping bright
Feeling better than I did this time last night
I stumble out into the city lights
I got a voice in my head that I just can't fight
People seem uptight, there′s no hope in sight
But if I loosen my head a little then I′ll be alright
But when the morning comes I do it all again because I

Wind it up, let it go
And when it gets to the other side, oh no
We will not care where it lands
When I'm wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says I′m crazy but why mind?
I'll get my sleep when I′m dead

Yeah, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah
Yeah

Oh, they gather all the moments I found
Man, there's sure a lot of people in this town
They all do their best to bring me down
But I can′t be stopped now

And the moment's just floating away


And I stutter
Maybe I'm too old to try and live this way
I should know better
I slow down and I′m falling behind
Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine
But you can′t get back this time

So let's wind it up and let it go
And when it gets to the other side, oh no
We will not care where it lands
When I′m wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says I'm crazy but why mind?
I′ll get my sleep when I'm dead

Yeah, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah
