Your heart is a distant drum, and your dreams are killing you
Tried ever so nicely, but it came out wrong
Now what have you done, it's as bitter as it can get
Don't hold on to tightly, Number one, 'cos

You can't stop the world from talking, nothing you can do
If it goes quiet whenever you walk in, maybe what they're saying is true

You're smart, but not smart enough, can't you guess what's bugging you?
Don't take it too lightly, you're a world apart
And your heart is a distant drum, and your dreams are rolling along
You're scared and quite rightly, Number one says

You can't stop the world from talking, nothing you can do
Maybe what they're saying is true, maybe what they're saying is true
Just maybe what they're saying is true?

You can't stop the world from talking, nothing you can do
If it goes quiet whenever you walk in, maybe what they're saying is true
Maybe what they're saying is true
Maybe what they're saying is true
Maybe what they're saying is true
Well just maybe what they're saying is true!
