People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing

 Well they give me all kinds of warnings, to save me from ruin

When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange

Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away

 Well, they give me all kinds of advice, designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall

Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

 I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go

 Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion

 Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions

Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind

 I told them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

 I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go
