see me at my desk, rested and well dressed
always there on time
funny how the clock that i used to watch
now never seems to mind
tried hard to collect interest and respect
by cutting out some things i thought didn't matter
turned all of my whines into "doing fines"
it saves me so much time

i'm stuck in a square, becoming one too
three stories above i hear there's a view
long way to the ground
but i'll probably stick around

now i've got a view
miles to the ocean
but i can't see you and maintain devotion
i wish i could say, "i'll be there"

and slowly the stories start to unbind
and tell me the years spent never were mine
i'm always to owe a debt to my heart
unless i can find a way to restart and take control

slowly the edge gets closer to you
you've got the most s___e with the greatest of views
you've paid off the debt you owe to your heart
you've paid off the debt, now go and restart
