Something started inside Like a wave from the ocean Ignited by the tide And it keeps me hoping That the direction we take Doesn't let the pain linger That the common mistake Doesn't burn on my finger See, we feed the emotion And we feel like we need it But too close to the notion And it bites the hand that feeds it So what shall it be The rope or the vine Finish flat with the key But don't tread on the line Cos no one likes to be used The engine's running, don't you see At least wipe off your shoes Before you walk all over me Something started inside Like a wave from the ocean Ignited by the tide And it keeps me hoping That the direction we take Doesn't let the pain linger That the common mistake Doesn't burn on my finger Cos no one likes to be used The engine's running, don't you see At least wipe off your shoes Before you walk all over me
