I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I’ve never been.

[palm muted/muffled]

And I’ll wait for you if you want me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
And I’ll wait for you if you ask me to,
Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?
