You can't change the feeling
But you can change your feeling about the feelings in a second or two, uh huh
People always come around
I'm studying the ceiling on a little afternoon
And when I paint my dining room, uh huh
People gonna come around
I asked the painter why the roads are colored black
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
And no highway will bring them back"
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger
But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger
Ten thousand afternoons ago
All my happiness just overflowed
That was life at first and goal to go
Me and you and us and them
And all those people way back when
All our hardships were just yardsticks then, you know
You know
You can't change the feeling
But you can change your feeling about the feelings in a second or two, uh huh
People always come around
I'm studying the ceiling on a little afternoon
And when I paint my dining room, uh huh
People gonna come around
Ten thousand afternoons ago
All my happiness just overflowed
That was life at first and goal to go
Me and you and us and them
And all those people way back when
All our hardships were just yardsticks then, you know
You know
