Standing
from Skeletons (2012) by Roger Heathers
lyrics
You slow me down
There's a reason I don't hang around any longer
There's a feel in town
That I can't get over and over and I've been waiting for a while now
Matter of time
Til I'll be standing in that dream of mine
It's been a while since I paid five pounds
So I could go down
Waiting for the morning to come back around
I see now
Don't get me standing where you want me to be
And somehow
I'm still right here
Can you justify
Spending money as the days go by
Cause I know that you're insatiable
When it comes to
Buying and spending and showing me everything that your
Money can buy
But can you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're satisfied
Could you tell me anything
Don't stop now
They've got you everywhere they want you to be
Don't tell me now
I see now
You've got me standing where you want me to be
And somehow
I'm still right here
I'm still right here x4
There's a reason I don't hang around any longer
There's a feel in town
That I can't get over and over and I've been waiting for a while now
Matter of time
Til I'll be standing in that dream of mine
It's been a while since I paid five pounds
So I could go down
Waiting for the morning to come back around
I see now
Don't get me standing where you want me to be
And somehow
I'm still right here
Can you justify
Spending money as the days go by
Cause I know that you're insatiable
When it comes to
Buying and spending and showing me everything that your
Money can buy
But can you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're satisfied
Could you tell me anything
Don't stop now
They've got you everywhere they want you to be
Don't tell me now
I see now
You've got me standing where you want me to be
And somehow
I'm still right here
I'm still right here x4
