lyrics

could've been
maybe one day
might have
eventually
comatose
for the ages
i'm asleep
don't wake me
and she said...

take your steal and move it
run along yeah
take your steal up outta here
wave goodbye
long gone, yeah

well, i move
and you stay
you'll want me back
baby, one day
but let your feet
be grounded
i’ll be right back
i promise
and she said...

take your steal and move it
run along yeah
take your steal up outta here
wave goodbye
long gone, yeah

take my words for granted
now they're gone
and you want them
but time will not
just grow back
in the time it took
to make bad

i'll take my steal and count it
i'm a happy chap
you will find that
i take my steals where i can
i'm a tired lad
and i don't need this
i'm taking my time with each day
i'm asleep
don't wake me
i'm taking my time with each day
have a coke and a smile
watch me walk away
