All this time in one place

The lovers gave up the chase

I stopped tryna keep a straight face

"The starting shot was all botched", she complained

So why did you make me start running?

Well, I didn′t see no one else running

A blank that's straight

Promised I′d shape up, that's great

Tried to wake you up in a kinder place

But I figured that you'd notice

All this time

They were waving from the finish line

Everyone′s got that evil thing

That′s why they can understand

Everyone's got that rubber band

Uh-huh, baby, that′s why you'll bounce back

Everyone′s got that evil thing

That's why they can understand

I′m firing blanks that's straight

There's a second shot, and it′s off

Oh, baby, I didn′t forget

I'm just confused about what I′m used to

All this time, we were standing at the finish line

That's why, baby, you can understand

Underneath me where you keep my hand

Underneath me where you hold my hand
