World Spins Madly On

Day 1
Woke up, feeling so in love
You fit me like a glove
Never thought I’d find the one
You’re my queen, I’m just your pawn
Let the world spin madly on

Day 4
I’ll make all your dreams come true
I’ll take the time for you
I’ll make the world brand new
I think of you every dawn
While the world spins madly on

Day 20
I sat home drinking brew
I’ve got other things to do
I didn’t call, but I’m sure you knew

Day 30
Hanging with my friends
We’ll find some time to spend
It won’t be that long
This world spins madly on

Day 34
Woke up to a message on my phone
Saying you always feel alone
You’ll be happier on your own

Day 35
I watch the stars
From my window sill
The whole world is moving
And I’m standing still

Day 60
Woke up
Wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you
And where you’d gone
And the world…
