Lyrics

Idol

I can see it, I can feel it rushing in my veins
I don't like it, I don't hide it, see it in my face
But I don't want to wait for I have lost my faith

Why can't I find myself an idol?
Somebody that I can look up to
Be big enough to hold me close in their arms
And never let me down

And all these stupid conversations
That always seem to lead to nowhere
They're going 'round and 'round, 'round in my head
And they'll be back again, they're coming back again

It's not fair how, I still care now, we're always alone
Honesty and modesty will never find my home
But I will never say when I have lost my way

Why can't I find myself an idol?
Somebody that I can look up to
Be big enough to hold me close in their arms
And never let me down

And all these stupid conversations
That always seem to lead to nowhere
They're going 'round and 'round, 'round in my head
And they'll be back again, they're coming back again

You take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
You take it, you take it and throw it away
You take it, you take it and throw it away
Away, away, away

But I will never say
When I have lost my way

Why can't I find myself an idol?
Somebody that I can look up to
Be big enough to hold me close in their arms
And never let me down

And all these stupid conversations
That always seem to lead to nowhere
They're going 'round and 'round, 'round in my head
And they'll be back again, they're coming back again

You take it, you take it and throw it away
You take it, you take it, they're coming back again
You take it, you take it and throw it away, away, away

And throw it away
You take it, you take it and throw it away
