Watching The Wheels lyrics - Chris Cornell

(originally by John Lennon)

People say I'm crazy

Doin' what I'm doin'

Well, they give me all kinds of warnings

To save me from ruin

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"

People say I'm lazy

Dreaming my life away

Well, they give me all kinds of advice

Designed to enlighten me

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"

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

People ask me questions

Lost in confusion

Well, I tell them there's no problem

Only solutions

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

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

Just had to let it go
