Watching The Wheels

by Chris Cornell

Lyrics
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
