Who's Next?

You can walk away by never taking a step

You can talk your way out of each and every theft

You can mark an X for everyone you’ve buried

But you can’t sleep at night because you’re worried

You can hold the world in the palm of your hand

You can mold your words to fit your plans

You can dig a ditch for all the people you’ll bury

But you can’t sleep at night and not worry

You can dance to the beat of your own heart

You can chance your own wisdom but still impart

You can find dark places to hide them all

But you can’t sleep at night knowing one day you’ll fall

You can live in the moment while on the sidelines

You can give it your all and all will be fine

You can think about all the hearts you’ll break

But you can’t sleep at night because you’ve made a mistake

You can talk so they listen to just your hush

You can chalk their affection up to a crush

You can plan to get away while they’re asleep

But you can’t sleep at night with all the fear you keep

You can remember it all like it happened yesterday

You can be somber but still brighten up their day

You can start by saying “I’m pleased to meet you.”

But you can’t sleep at night knowing what you do

You can introduce yourself with only a smile

And you can make him think that it will last a while

You can lock eyes with him and know exactly what it’ll do

But you can’t sleep at night because you know I’m on to you.
