It's zippin by
Like speed of light
Or draggin painfully slow
It's not enough
Or just too much
Either way it's gonna go

What you wanted is what you have
Or isn't it
What you are is out of your hands
Or isn't it

Lay down your pencil
Computer off
Say not a word
Get out of your car
Step away from your desk
Don't look at the clock
Stand there in silence

And see where you are
And see where you are
And see where you are
And do you wanna be where you are

It's everything
A vivid dream
Or not worth talking about
The big idea
Until it's here
And then they're taking the house

What you wanted is what you have
Or isn't it
What you are is out of your hands
Or isn't it

Lay down your pencil
Computer off
Say not a word
Get out of your car
Step away from your desk
Don't look at the clock
Stand there in silence

And see where you are
And see where you are
(Do you like it?)
And see where you are
And do you wanna be where you are?

Ah yes
Feeling the implications
Of somebody else's
Expectations
You could elope if you wanted to

Lay down your pencil
Computer off
Say not a word
Get out of your car
Step away from your desk
Don't look at the clock
Stand there in silence

And see where you are
And see where you are
(Do you like it?)
And see where you are
And do you wanna be where you are?
And see where you are
And see where you are
(Do you like it?)
