maybe I'm not as smart as I thought
as I come back down
entertain the sun
beg it to go on
don't leave me all alone down here
cause I don't have a doubt
that I am without
a way out of this

and I climb
this wasted time
I've been in
and I find
I change my mind
again you win

can you take the ashes that I've burned
at your expense
cause I can't tell you why
all the things that I
haven't thought to ask you for
I am at the end
I cannot pretend
that everything's ok this time

and I climb
this wasted time
I've been in
and I find
I change my mind
again you win

I can't walk away from you
I can't deny what you say is true
I can't understand everything you do
still I can't walk away

and I climb
this wasted time
I've been in
and I find
I change my mind
again you win

when I climb
when I climb
when I climb
