Wind It Up
Rob Thomas Lyrics

Wind it up and let it go
Embrace and release all the worries and burdens

When it gets to the other side, oh no
When the situation becomes unfavorable

Now wait a minute can't you see I'm lost
Pause and understand that I am confused and directionless

I try to get it but I may be too far gone
I attempt to comprehend, but I might be beyond recovery

I think about it baby then I'm wrong
Reflect on it, but my thoughts are flawed

I try to beat it but I'm no good on my own
I strive to conquer it, but I lack the ability alone

You say you don't see what you know about me
You claim not to perceive what you already understand about me

I got a penchant for the revelry
I possess a strong inclination for lively enjoyment

Now I been the best that I can be
I have been giving my utmost effort

But there ain't no good plans for me
Unfortunately, there are no favorable strategies for me

We will not care where it lands
We won't be concerned about its final destination

When I'm wide awake, let it slide
When I am fully conscious, allow it to pass without resistance

Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my
Although everyone claims I am insane, I follow my own path

I'll get my sleep when I'm dead
I will rest when my life comes to an end

Right now I'm falling over but I'm keeping right
Currently, I am stumbling but maintaining my determination

Feeling better than I did this time last night
Experiencing an improved state compared to the previous night

I stumble out into the city lights
I venture out into the vividness of the urban environment

I got a voice in my head that I just can't bite
There is a persistent voice in my mind that I cannot ignore

People seem uptight, there's no hope in sight
Individuals appear anxious, and optimism is scarce

But if I loosen my head a little then I'll be all right
However, if I relax and clear my mind, I will be fine

But when the morning comes I do it all again because I
Nevertheless, when morning arrives, I repeat the same actions because I

Just wind it up and let it go
Simply wind up all the concerns and release them

Yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment

Pull together all the moments I found
Collecting and uniting all the experiences I encountered

Man there's sure a lot of people in this town
Indeed, this town is filled with numerous individuals

They all do their best to bring me down
They all make an effort to discourage and undermine me

But I can't be stopped now
However, I cannot be halted at this moment

And the moment's just floating away
And the opportunity is slipping away slowly

And I stutter
And I hesitate

Maybe I'm too old to try and live this way
Possibly, I am too mature to attempt living in this manner

I should know better
I ought to be more knowledgeable

I slow down and I'm falling behind
I decrease my pace and find myself lagging

Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine
Claiming a fraction of this existence as my own

But you can't get back this time
However, this period cannot be reclaimed

So let's wind it up and let it go
Therefore, let's gather and release all the worries

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Vocalization of excitement or emphasis

Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
