I'm stuck in one gear
Caught spinning wheels where're we going
Its not been all you said its gonna be

Black coffee mornings
Blues station sings "I must be going"
I'm stuck in one gear drifting out to sea

But I still have my clothes there
I still have my 8 tracks
And it's gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)
Its gonna take a lot to stay (cause I just can't live)
With you

My brothers tell me
You can't stay with one girl forever
I know they're out there laughing at me

Cause I still have my skates there
I still want my cat back
And its gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)

Its gonna take a lot to stay (cause I just can't live)
With you

I'm stuck in the ring without my gloves
Punch drunk and hit below the belt

You still have my Beach Boys
I still want my half stack

And it's gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)
