Run away
Shy away
From things you couldn't understand

Fade away
You feel betrayed
It didn't turn out the way you planned

Castaway
Would've passed away
It wasn't for that plastic sail
Woken by that friendly whale and...

Didn't know where to go
Didn't know what to know
Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone

Didn't know what to say
I'm feeling alright today
Reaction to the sun, the same for everyone

Feeling a waterfall
I'm tired of it all
Reaction to the sun, it's the same for everyone

Staying silent
Another Sunday afternoon
Waiting for the words that never come

Feeling violent
Another Monday morning
Waiting for the words that never come

Put away
Your vanity
You're not as important as you think
Gone before the drying ink

Every day
You fritter away
Life is short but not for long
It seemed alright but now it's gone and...

Thrown away
You find a way
To wait until it's much too late
To say the things you need to say and...

On Long Island
Looking out onto the Sound
Waiting for the words that never come

Held together
By piece of yellow string
Waiting for the words that never come

Hold each other
Just until the shaking stops
Waiting for the words that never come

Altogether
Like a piece of yellow string
Waiting for the words that never come
