As a child
The paint never dried
I would change and rearrange things all the time
I was free
Free to be anybody
And now I'm caught inside an old machine
And I wanna feel alright
Without takin' any medicine
It's like I've been asleep for a while
And now I'm runnin' out of dreams [?]
Some I've worn out, grown out of
Torn down and thrown out, 'cause
They keep gettin' me in trouble
Some are hard to explain
Some I tried to maintain
But I know, yeah, I know
They keep gettin' me in trouble
They keep gettin' me in trouble
They keep gettin' me in trouble
Like a fish drownin' in water
With my fins taped to my sides
I've been floatin' upside down
And I know that I ought to
But I won't
Start to swim until the water boils
And I've lost the joy
Some I've worn out, grown out of
Torn down and thrown out, 'cause
They keep gettin' me in trouble
Some are hard to explain
Some I tried to maintain
But I know
They keep gettin' me in trouble
C'est la vie, my friend
I'm cleanin' out my closet
Some I'm keepin'
Some I'm tossin'
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye, say hello
Every road I have to walk
All the bridges I must cross
Every ocean I can swim
And all that birds I have to watch
Every step I have to take
I'd take them all
Even if I fall
Even if I fall, fall, fall
C'est la vie, my friend
I'm cleanin' out my closet
Some I'm keepin'
Some I'm tossin'
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye, say hello
C'est la vie, my friend
I'm cleanin' out my closet
Some I'm keepin'
Some I'm tossin'
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye, say hello
