lyrics

Verse 1
We tried to make it work as best we could
It lasts a little longer than it should
We both know you got the best of me
Lately I been thinking, it's been on my mind
Not really sure the punishment
had fit the crime
Grab your magic marker
manifest your destiny

Chorus
 This train full of passion and pain
is taking people places
 We can't help that we both see ourselves
in old familiar faces please
   Just close your eyes,
relax your mind and come back to me
   Slingshot, slingshot

Verse 2
The juries judge us on the time it takes
Fresh coat of paint on all the same mistakes
The landmines and the tan lines
slowly start to fade away
A paper tiger never understands
Why it is the power’s always changing hands
Wars of attrition
never solve the problem anyway

Repeat chorus

Bridge
I know it’s never really easy to see,
when you are facing an impossible change
But there’s a difference t’ween
the end of your rope
and a lack of an unlimited range
Sometimes I feel like that you see me
as a dreamer with my head in the clouds
I‘d like to think that you would listen to me,  
that I could get myself together maybe
Turn it all around
​
Repeat chorus
