Taking inventory of his life
Seeing snapshots
Something told him he should look
Around and tidy up
Tried looking at it
From a new perspective
Orders from that corner
Where that shadow always lived
I don't want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I don't want to leave like this
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
She's not afraid of her reflection
She had plans to change her name, yeah
Just not the traditional way, yeah
Haunted by a couple big mistakes
She covers all the dents
Then one night she got cold
With no blankets on her bed
I don't want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I don't want to leave like this
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
With the bells
And the whistles scaled back
Most days of the week
He might have made it if he lived
I repeat, scaled back and isolated
He says he likes an open schedule
But he mostly hates it
I don't want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I don't want to leave like this
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
I don't want to go like this (go like this)
At least let me clean my room
I don't want to leave like this (leave like this)
'Cause the last thing I want to do is (to do is)
Make my people make decisions
Wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
Or redecorate?
Or redecorate?
