I tried again
to reach out a hand to you
but the more that I felt
the less that I held
until I reached right through you

I tried again
to stock up my world with you
but the more that I kept
the greater the debt
until all I owed was you

I tried again
to speed far away with you
but then as we ran
I lost who I am
and soon I was gone to you

and I believe that we receive
the sum of all that we put in
and that suggests we place our bets
somewhere safe still and serene
but I get bored if I'm not adored
and so I'm looking for a mess
and you're the one I like the best

I tried again
to sever all ties to you
but even as I packed
I knew I'd be back
'cuz I still belong to you

and I believe that we receive
the sum of all that we put in
and that suggests we place our bets
somewhere safe still and serene
but I get bored if I'm not adored
and so I'm looking for a mess
and you're the one I like the best
