lyrics

Woke up today and dreamed of fifty perfect ways
To make it big sell all my friends the success that I might make
I'm always happy when I speak in riddle or rhyme
It sounds so good 'til I write it out and read it a few more times
Just like my friends the best ones happen all too fast
Sometimes my thoughts spill out to them like the best songs that I have
And now my problems are spread out to different states
If I need someone's advice well then I'll just have to wait
So it's all just a waste now
'Cause nothing gold or silver ever stays

So back up, just back up
I don't want to waste your time
You don't want to waste all mine
Just back up and go get out there
'Cause I already got all mine, I already got all mine
Just back up

Got to learn to hold on to the ones I love some way
'Cause the people that I'm closest to are here and gone in a day
You'd think it nice, I never have to get too close
But it's never been about the outcome just about the ones you know
That's why it's all just a waste now
'Cause nothing gold or silver ever stays

Now back up, just back up
I don't want to waste your time
You don't want to waste all mine
Just back up and go get out there
'Cause I already got all mine, I already got all mine
Just back up
I already got all mine, and I don't want to waste your time
Just back up
I already got all mine, I already got all mine
Just back up
