The rain beats down upon my head as I walk out of this room
Soaking my clothes straight to the bone, penetrating my shoes
The sun set down on the horizon and hasn't been seen for days
Must have gone out for some lunch and had a lot to say
This life, I want it back
This life, you can have it back
CHORUS:
Cause they've been my Gepetto
They could pull my strings
Playing tug of war with my life at stake
It's a battle that we can win

The forecast calls for sun, I hope he'll show his face
I've been set aside by nothing I've done, falling under grace
The sun comes up over the horizon and quickly leaves me dry
The reflection on the puddles so strong, I have to close my eyes
This life, I want it back
This life, you can have it back
CHORUS:
Cause they've been my Gepetto
I was tangled in the strings
Playing tug of war with my life at stake
It's a battle that we can win
It's a battle that we can win

I'll never walk on the moon and I'll never parts the seas
I don't want to be my own again, want to do things I never dreamed
This life, I don't want it back
This life, I don't want it back
Cause now you're my Gepetto
You could pull my strings
But you'll be my Jiminy Cricket
You give me life and set me free
