No Straight Line

Russell Simins


I got a little distracted
When I saw what was taken away
I got a little distracted trying to think of something to say
I got a little distracted just getting in the way
We might fuss and fight
We're just doing what feels right

Can't make it work out
Whatever gets you through the night
(I know you worry but you're doing fine)
I can't seem to make a straight line
(Whatcha think you're gonna find?)
I don't know but I'll find out in time
(Whatcha gonna leave behind?)
I left it all and I don't really mind

I, I, I...

(I know you worry but you're doing fine)
I can't seem to make a straight line
(Whatcha think you're gonna find?)
I don't know but I'll find out in time
(Whatcha gonna leave behind?) I left it all and I don't really mind

(why?)
I got a little distracted
When I saw what was taken away
I got a little distracted trying think of somethin' to say
I got a little distracted just gettin' in the way
(You keep on going round and round and round)
(even though this can't be re-found)
(you don't stop 'cos it's just goin' round)
(I know you worry but you're doing fine)
I can't seem to make a straight line
(Whatcha think you're gonna find?)
I don't know but I'll find out in time
(Whatcha gonna leave behind?) I left it all and I don't really mind
I don't really mind
(I said I don't mind)
