The Clarks - Caroline lyrics

rate me

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can

walk away

You can polarize my friends, destroy the letters that I send or you can run

away

You can terrorize my neighbors with your Mr. Hyde behavior, you can drink away

You can exorcise your demons, bite and scratch and kick and scream, you can

act away

And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

You can cauterize my feelings with your flaming tongue leave me reeling you

can talk away

You can compromise my passion, call me fake and call me fashion, you can

write away

You can rationalize a purchase with my money and say it's worth it

You can tear me up or tie me down and kick me on the ground

And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

Caroline, it's a waste of time

Don't you want me to come back Caroline?

Don't you want me to fly back Caroline?

You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can

walk away

You can idolize your drum machine, say the Beatles suck and dis the King

and walk away

You can finalize the ending, break the rules that you've been bending

You can find a brand new lover, run away and then discover

You can't outrun your actions, you can't get no satisfaction

And if you ever open your eyes, you won't find me standing in line

Caroline, it's a waste of time
