Lyrics
Move This Thing Along (Alice Version)
Cataumet September 2015
I’ve been dying Living and lyingI lived in delusionWithout even trying
I need a solutionMy past and my usingI got to surrenderAnd stop this abusingI want a solutionI want a solution
Need someone to talk withTo listen and walk with Who knows what I’m thinkingCan help me stop drinkingQuit my old thinking feel like I’m sinkingthrow me a linebefore I’m out of time
I need to move onneed to move onIts time to move onMove this thing alongTime to move onTime to move onMove this thing along
Dealing with my emotionsI go out on the oceanI feel like I’m floatingI go through the MotionsStars over the oceanMy eyes are wide openWash this pain awayWash it awayWash it away
