stop if the eagle sees you
start up again when he flies by
stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows
I never really had a reason, I never really thought it out
I never really planned on leaving, I sure ain't quitting now
stop if the eagle sees you
start up again when he flies by
stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows
into those greater lakes, born from your bathroom sink
down through the pipes and out the streams where all those fears can meet
well I'm bussing through my life yet again
clearing plates full of people's problems, wearing down with every solved one
and all the windex in the world couldn't scrub these tables clean
or finally set me free, or finally set me free
and all these plans of keeping my cards and hand a secret
they've all been compromised, your eyes they're so deceiving
so I hold my head up higher, so I play with a different driver
held out for the bigger prize, turns out I'm a damn good liar
stop if the eagle sees you
start up again when he flies by
stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows
into those greater lakes, born from your bathroom sink
down through the pipes and out the streams where all those fears can meet
well I'm bussing through my life yet again
clearing plates full of people's problems, wearing down with every solved one
and all the windex in the world couldn't scrub these tables clean
or finally set me free, or finally set me free
