Watching The Wheels - Chris Cornell

Watching The Wheels - Chris Cornell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People say I'm crazy
Doin' what I'm doin'
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin

[Refrain]
And when I say that I'm okay
They look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now
You no longer play the game"

[Verse 2]
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me

[Refrain]
And when I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy?
You're no longer on the ball"

[Chorus]
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
[Verse 3]
People ask me questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions

[Refrain]
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me
As if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here, doin' time

[Chorus]
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

[Outro]
Just had to let it go1
