How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out when you cut the string.
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string.
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string come undone
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera Etcetera
Fetch for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a sheer drop
How come I end up where I started?
How can I end up where I belong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string.
I think it's talking about 1 person who became friends with someone and got really close. But the something happend (possibly popularity) and they didn't want to become friends anymore. That person ended up where they started. Reeled them out and then cut the string...
