Lyrics
Left It Up To You
2003©Harken Music
I?m the one who?s been waiting
I?m the little instigator
I?m your hope, I?m your dream
I?m that voice in your head that?s calling you
I?m cold feet, red meat
A ghost from Harry Potter
I could Rosemary?s daughter
But for now I?ll be your Angel
If I go, I?ll go suddenly
Or I could stay forever
I don?t take things too lightly
But for now I?m waiting patiently
Chorus:
I?ve Left It Up To You
Nothing really matters
If you?re undecided
If your heart ain?t true
And I?ve Left It Up To You
You can take your time
I will bide mine and
Leave it up to you
I may never change your mind
But as Shakespeare once eluded to
?I fear these stubborn lines, will lack the power to move you?
If you question your life with me
Cause it can be like swimming up a stream
Well I could be your nightmare
Or I could be your sweet dream
Chorus
I will take my gold watch out of my pocket
And I?ll lay it by the bed
I will close my eyes and wait
For your thoughts to unravel
This spinning wheel inside my head
Chorus
