WHAT A SITUATION TO BE IN

YOU’RE KEEPING IN TIME WITH MY IDEAS
LYRICS
<verse 1="">
WHEN IT HAPPENED YOU FEEL LIKE AN ISLANDER,
YOU SEE SHIPS AND THEY’LL BE REMINDERS,
THAT YOU’RE ON AN ISLAND,
AND I’M ON AN ISLAND
<pre chorus="">
THE CHANCES ARE
THERE’S A REASON WE’VE BEEN LEFT HERE
BUT I’M NOT DISAPPOINTED
THE CHANCES ARE
THERE’S A REASON WE’VE BEEN LEFT HERE
THE CHANCES ARE..THE CHANCES ARE
.
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT ,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
<verse 2="">
AS IT HAPPENS,
THERE’S A CITY IN SIGHT,
YOU’RE GETTING CONFUSED
BY LOCAL LAMPLIGHT, BY LOCAL LAMPLIGHT
DON’T BUY LOCAL LAMPLIGHT
<pre-chorus>
THE CHANCES ARE
THERE’S A REASON WE’VE BEEN LEFT HERE
BUT I’M NOT DISAPPOINTED
THE CHANCES ARE
THERE’S A REASON WE’VE BEEN LEFT HERE
THE CHANCES ARE
THE CHANCES ARE
.
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
BUT WHAT A SITUATION TO BE IN,
YOU’RE KEEPING IN TIME WITH MY IDEAS
YOU’RE KEEPING IN TIME WITH MY IDEAS,
YOU CAN’T STOP KEEPING IN TIME
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
YOU CAN’T CONTACT, YOU CAN’T CONTACT,
YOU CAN’T COPE WITHOUT THE CONTACT
