lyrics

You Come Down

You got every ounce of sympathy
Begged for every smile you could
Then you cried ‘what did you do to me’?
Seems you never really understood

I guess it must’ve been a mistake
To put your mind at ease
What’s the use in remorse?
It’s such a personal disease

When is enough enough?
You get so far and then you turn around
You got everything you dreamed up
So how come you come down?

There’s a reason to find out
What gets left to fate
When you remember everything you’ve seen
The future comes too late

I think I’ll go to sleep and dream about piles of gold
Maybe I’ll find out what it looks like in the ground
Make one fortune and blow it tryin' to find another
If you don’t take a risk, what you gain might never be found

How does it feel to be a man of property?
Wake up and count up all you own
When you got it, you get plenty of company
That ain’t worth a dime, but you’ll never live a life unknown
