Name of the Game

We've all been here. Trying to move mountains with a spoon.
NAME OF THE GAME
o-way-o-ho-way-ee-o-way-ee-oh
Well everything is so perfect never been better
Everything is just the way that I wanted it
So why am I still miserable?
I can’t think of a solution to make my problems go away,
And you can’t say anything that will make this longing fade.
La da da….
But everybody look at her over there,
Dancing in the thunder, singing with the spirits,
And you say, “What influence is she under”?
(CHORUS) Well, I am tired of you and I am tired of this
I am tired of waiting for someone who doesn’t exist
But that’s the name of the game, that we call life
At least that’s the name of mine
I laugh, I cry, try to deny… my loneliness
o-way-o-ho-way-ee-o-way-ee-oh….
And people say I’m an enigma, they never know what I’m thinking
I never meant to hold anything back but I didn’t know you were looking
And I am growing weary of my own repetitive ways
Seems I’ve been spinning in circles, it’s hurry up and wait…
la na na na na…
But I’ll try one more avenue maybe it’ll work this time
Cuz I’ve run so far out of patience this better be the end of the line
(CHORUS) Well I am tired of you and I am tired of this
I am tired of waiting for someone who doesn’t exit
But that’s the name of the game, that we call life
At least that’s the name of mine
I laugh, I cry, try to deny…my loneliness
o-way-o-ho-way-ee-o-way-ee-oh
But I’m speaking out with the voices of anyone who’s ever been alone Bitter/beautiful is the taste and it almost feels like home
(CHORUS) Well I am tired of you and I am tired of this
I am tired of waiting for someone who doesn’t exist
But that’s the name of the game, that we call life
At least that’s the name of mine
I laugh, I cry, try to deny… my loneliness
o-way-o-ho-way-ee-o-way-ee-oh
