Stuck In a Rut
Stereophonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make do with your lot, you gotta choice to make
You gotta follow your gut, you're head's in a state
You're stuck in a rut, you're wasting days
Time don't wait so,
Make your choice, either go or stay
What you got in your heart is dying every day
You're scared to let go, though your mind is made
Just pack your soul and don't stay

You're feeling down and low
You're dreaming, of how it should feel
Staying will set your soul on fire

You're stuck in,
A rut and,
Your life is,
Forgotten

So it's only a house, don't make it a home
Are you a man or a mouse, you gotta walk it alone
It's time to let go, get on with the show
The clock is ticking

What you've got is long gone, draw a line in the sand
You're poker face is shot, I can see through your hand
Stop lying to yourself, gotta make new plans
Time don't wait for no man

You're feeling down and low
You're dreaming, of how it should feel
Staying will set your soul on fire

You're stuck in,
A rut and,
Your life is,
Forgotten

You're feeling down and low
You're dreaming, of how it should feel
Staying will set your soul on fire

You're stuck in,
A rut and,
Your life is,
Forgotten

You're stuck in,
A rut and,
Your life is,
Forgotten

You're stuck in,
A rut and,
Your life is,
Forgotten

You're stuck in,
A rut and,




Your life is,
Forgotten
