"Flipside" lyrics

Flipside

I tried to get high
But you wanted me low
Good things are happening
But happening slow
It's some kind of mystery
From long ago

I finally know who
I'm supposed to be
My mind was locked
But I found the key
Hope it don't all
Slip away from me

Hard times
Fine lines
Moments pass by
And I cry
Rewind
Step behind
It's hard to find
The flipside

I can't stand
When you tell me to get back
If we're all free
Why does it seem
We can't just be?

You saw your reflection
All over the news
Your temperature's well
Past a hundred and two
Put the guns away
Or we'll all gonna lose

Stand by
Or take flight
Eat or throw
Your piece pie
Walk on
Or be mine
Moments fly by
And I cry

I can't stand
When you tell me to get back
If we're all free
Why does it seem
We can't just be?

I can't stand
When you tell me to get back
If we're all free
Why does it seem
We can't just be?
