Words and Music: Mike Connell Sometimes I get the feeling things won't fall apart. Sometimes I think it's gone too far. Sometimes I get the feeling things seems pretty nice. Then again sometimes I'd like to leave you twice. Once we decide upon it We won't fall apart. This time I think it's gone too far. And you get where you can't decide -- Don't ask any other. And you get where you can't decide. Didn't I say "sorry." Didn't I say "dear." Didn't I consider. Didn't I stand clear. Didn't you say "new boy get down on your knees." Did I say "trying, I'm trying, I'm trying."
