curiousity killed the cat

in a strange mood
What I anticipated would happen, did
a tiny part of me wished no
but the rest of me did proceed with curiousity

i feel like i'm stranded on highway 1
and you just drove away, away from this place
left me there with words of weight, no debt to pay
but i'd rather you had more things to say

(chorus)
how long can you walk
eyes affixed to the ground
and manage to stumble around
wipe the dirt out of your eyes
and out of your life
let's get rid of the matter that's grey

why did you leave me here
by myself
why did you leave me here
by myself, by myself, by myself

two hours since and I still feel distain
because you didn't explain why you were late for our date
you came up short but other plans came up quick
and didn't complain when I made a run of it

(chorus)
how long can you walk
eyes affixed to the ground
and manage to stumble around
wipe the dirt out of your eyes
and out of your life
let's get rid of the matter that's grey
get rid of the matter that's grey.
