Take me out of the running You know I've had my fun You're the only work that I've left to do It's a level-headed game But the time has got to change I'm just k-k-kicking dirt to say it's true Take me in I've been barefoot and sore Trying to start a war Between the liars and the people who know It's a chosen few And one of 'em might be you But there are so many places we've yet to go Take me in Come on, don't be a stranger If there's love that you want, we can make it on the fly We're just two rearrangers I've got 8 lives, honey, I've been working on 9 And in the morning, you'll be the death of me Out for glory, I wave my flag outside of your window Where you have lately just been sleeping in But the ice is getting thin, mama, ice is pretty thin Why don't you take me in? Take me in

Watch me leap down from the mile high ledge New York to Cali, gonna wonder what it is I know where to put this thing, I can put it back Shove off for home and watch the window lights pass I can put it back It's a long drop down to the bottom of the earth Where the seemingly proud figure what they're really worth You wanna take some time? That's perfectly fine. I'm the freest faller, I'm so perfectly timed I can put it back I'm flying past the high school gowns The 21st's all spinning around There are some people that I left behind I ain't ever been the smoothest at having to say goodbye I can put it back I'm gonna build a mental time machine The most impressive thing you've ever seen What's it mean to you mama? What's it mean to you mama? It's just a smokescreen, mama. Before the tail between my legs Rethought it back to distant days I put it down inside my heart, it never needed to be in yours When every thought is just another set of swinging doors I can put it back Watch me leap down from the skyscrape ledge Where each year's a floor, I'm rewriting full-fledge Won't have to use my trusty feat of strength No one expects me to sprout wings before the concrete What's it mean to you mama? What's it mean to you mama? It's just a smokescreen, mama I can put it back, but it's still there Still there Well, it's still there Yeah, it's still there Well, I can put it back, but it's still there Still there
