Well, I walked to the river just to ease my troublin' mi nd,
and I thought about leavin' this cardboard world behind.
My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door,
leavin' nothing more than me.
And now the water is over my head,
and I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead.
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack,
but I'm in too deep and there ain't no turnin' back,
no, no, no, turnin' back, no, no, no.
Ah, the breeze in the trees is a-whisperin' Louise toda y,
and you can take back your rib 'cause I'm really not made of clay.
My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night,
I'm not standing here to fight the tide.
Well, everybody's tellin' me that this is wrong and that ain't ri ght,
but that can't be because I saw the sun shine last night.
My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see,
oh, there's nothing left of me to see.
