The night's getting old and
Your eyes are weary
You can't see clearly and
Your nerves are thinning
A half-eaten meal and a tear on the table
But don't seem able to hold the anger in

Love sometimes takes the form of frustration
It's a sad combination of
Emptiness and doubt
But only a human connection is
Expressed with a shout
Well, I think I'm gonna have to
Just sit this one out

There was a time when we could sit and
Talk about things together
No, we didn't shout about things, at all
We laughed, we loved, we played
We said what we had to say
But there's nothing to do now
And I don't have a clue
How rise above it all

Love sometimes takes the form of frustration
It's a sad combination of
Emptiness and doubt
But only a human connection is
Expressed with a shout
Well, I think I'm gonna have to
Just sit this one out

Well, I know you understand
What I'm talking about
Love sometimes takes on the
Form of frustration
A sad combination of emptiness and doubt
But only a human connection is
Expressed with a shout cut down and run
I think I'm gonna have to sit
Down and sit this one out?
Let me say it again: I think I'm gonna
Have to just sit this one out

Can I ride above it all? I
Didn't even have a clue
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna to fall
Something said "Hold on, don't let go"
Don't give up of everything
That you work for, so long
Don't destroy your self in
A second with anger
Hold on, a change will come
I just wanna say: I think I'm gonna have
To sit and work this one out
