Stones You Throw

(album: Letterbox - 2017)

Always wondered why you ran so fast
Why your father made you so mad
All the things that we gave away
We keep trying to get back

Growing up was the hardest thing we've ever done
And I don't think that any of us really won

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm sorry for all the times I told you
I'd rather be alone
Pretending a restless spirit
Was worth a heart of stone

And I finally got my way
I'm so alone today

No man's an island no matter how far we swim
And the earth's polluted by our tiny little sins
It doesn't matter if you come or you go
But the world's got ripples from the stones you throw
Baby, watch your throw

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Now that we've called it off
Will you turn down my love
I've tried to shut it out
It's as high as it ever was

And I know you feel betrayed
I don't know how to change

No man's an island no matter how far we swim
And the earth's polluted by our tiny little sins
It doesn't matter if you come or you go
But the world's got ripples from the stones you throw
Baby, watch your throw

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

No man's an island no matter how far we swim
And the earth's polluted by our tiny little sins
It doesn't matter if you come or you go
But the world's got ripples from the stones you throw
Baby, watch your throw
Baby, watch your throw
Baby, watch your throw
