Spell It Out

Here's my list of all the things I should have said and done
The boats I missed and all the fights I lost, I really should have won
And I'm not the only one

But I won't bow or take the world as you would hand it down
So leave me out of all your plans 'cause I don't need them now
I'll find my own way out

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose
That's when they'll come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was new
It was all laid out just for me and you now

Wave goodbye I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free
My hands are tied and I can't find my feet

Sit by me for long enough and watch your enemies
Float downstream one by one until you realize you're free
There's no one left but me

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose
That's when they'll come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was new
It was all laid out just for me and you now

Wave goodbye 'cause I know I'll believe if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free
My hands are tied and I can't find my feet

This sweet old world will give it out until it's time to leave
I won't hurt for you when all you want's a flawless victory
How wrong could anyone be?

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose
That's when they'll come looking for me and you
Once we wanted nothing and everything was new
It was all laid out just for me and you now

Wave goodbye, I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me
Spell it out so everyone can see
All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free
My hands are tied and I can't find my feet
