"Watching The Wheels" lyrics - CHRIS CORNELL

People say I'm crazy
Doin' what I'm doin'
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin

[Refrain:]
And when I say that I'm okay
They look at me kinda 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

[Refrain:]
And 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"

[Chorus:]
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

People ask me questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions

[Refrain:]
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, doin' time

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
Just had to let it go
