[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
So excuse me if I seem a little far away
I haven’t been myself for quite a while
Well, everything’s behind me now, at least that’s what they say
But then they say a lot of things, here they come again
[Pre-Chorus]
They say: “Hello, please excuse me
Excuse us while we look into your soul”
Self-control – I don’t need it
I don’t want to waste a single thought at all
[Chorus]
If I was you
I know exactly what I’d try to do
I’d face the whole world with my lazy smile
I’d try to live life like a child, running wild
Your timе has gone
So pack your mind away and move along
Next timе, we’ll sing along, you know the one
You wrote the words, you are the song
[Interlude]
Ba, ba-da, ba, ba, da-ba, ba
Ba, ba-da, ba, ba, da-ba, ba
Ba, ba-da, ba, ba, da-ba, ba
Ba, ba-da, ba, ba, da-ba, ba
[Verse 2]
Lately, I’ve been hazy
The days roll by, people come and go
See me, look into me
Lay down and tell them everything I know
And they say, “Here’s a little story about self-control
A lonely boy who could've had the world
Who built a pair of wings to see them melt and fall
They point and say, 'He could’ve had it all'"
[Pre-Chorus]
(And I say) Self-control – I don’t need it
I don’t want to waste a single thought at all
On self-control – I don’t want it
Close my eyes and jump over the wall
[Chorus]
Your time has gone
So pack your mind away and move along
Next time, we’ll sing along, you know the one
You wrote the words, you are the song
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I’ll be doing fine
Give me time
Give me time
I’ll be doing fine
Give me time
Give me time
I’ll be doing fine (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling, I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Give me time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Give me time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
I’ll be doing fine (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling, I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Give me time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Give me time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (I’ll be doing fine), medication time
(I gotta keep on smiling, smiling, I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (Give me time) (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (Give me time) (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication time (I gotta keep on smiling, smiling)
Medication!
[Postlude]
(Ba, ba, ba-da, ba...)
(Oh)
(Ba, ba, ba-da, ba)
(Ba, ba, ba-da, ba)
(Ba, ba, ba-da, ba)
(Ba, ba, ba-da, ba...)
