lyrics

I was aimless
I was rambling
Through the canyons of my mind
Searching for lost times

I was lonely
I was haunted
By pictures of those years
They still bring me to tears

I was playing a game of mental tug of war
It keeps on going cause nobody's keeping score
Yeah

I was straight-faced
I was straight-laced
It came so naturally
Like trading tragedies

I was wanted
I was vacant
I tried to take your call
My back was to the wall

I was playing a game of mental tug of war
It keeps on going cause nobody's keeping score

Think it over
Getting closer
Oh what's the use
I still can't choose

I was tapped out
I was lying
But only to myself
I don't need no one's help

I was packed up
I was moving
Back where I belong
Going, going, gone

I was playing a game of mental tug of war
It keeps on going cause nobody's keeping score

I was playing a game of mental tug of war
It keeps on going cause nobody's keeping score

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Take it Charlie
