Watching the Wheels Songtext
von Jack Savoretti

People say I′m crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I′m okay well, they look at me kind of 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
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

People asking 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 doing 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
I just had to let it go
Let it go
