VERSE
LIKE MERCURY
Walking me through a door marked exit
Sending me down a spiral stair
Leaving me in an empty hallway
And still we go nowhere
It wasn't a script or plan you followed
Nobody taught you rules to play
Repeating them makes your words sound hollow
But you do it anyway
YOU TOLD ME ALL ALONG
I JUST WASN'T LISTENING
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
TO SLIP AWAY REMARKABLY
LIKE MERCURY
I wonder if I can take the sorrow
of seeing you in a dream somewhere
knowing that I can reach across
telling me you care
YOU TOLD ME ALL ALONG
I JUST WASN'T LISTENING
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
TO SLIP AWAY REMARKABLY
LIKE MERCURY
It wasn't a script or plan you followed
Nobody taught you rules to play
Repeating them makes your words sound hollow
But you do it anyway
I wonder if I can take the sorrow
of seeing you in a dream somewhere
knowing that I can reach across
telling me you care
YOU TOLD ME ALL ALONG
I JUST WASN'T LISTENING
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
TO SLIP AWAY REMARKABLY
LIKE MERCURY
