about
Written by James Carrington and James Simmonds
lyrics
Living in daydreams
I am so tired
I lost all of my reasons
For all the things I desired
My life’s so crazy
I need some time out
Don’t let me turn myself inside out
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
Sliding up stairways
Day after day
Walking through people
With nothing to say
My life’s so crazy
I need some time out
Don’t let me turn myself inside out
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
Roll with the fast ones
Stop where you land
Nobody sees when you get through
Pick with the slow ones
But go with the no ones
Nobody tells you what to do
Bring out the storm clouds that you find
When you leave it all behind
Just for a moment
Just for a moment
Just for a moment
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
I am so tired
I lost all of my reasons
For all the things I desired
My life’s so crazy
I need some time out
Don’t let me turn myself inside out
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
Sliding up stairways
Day after day
Walking through people
With nothing to say
My life’s so crazy
I need some time out
Don’t let me turn myself inside out
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
Roll with the fast ones
Stop where you land
Nobody sees when you get through
Pick with the slow ones
But go with the no ones
Nobody tells you what to do
Bring out the storm clouds that you find
When you leave it all behind
Just for a moment
Just for a moment
Just for a moment
Stop the world I wanna get off
Close the doors I’ve had enough
Bring me silence, peace of mind
All I wanna do is unwind
