William Wilson - The Smithereens

I take my time and I like to move slow

Why should I worry when there’s nowhere to go?

I like things simple and my friends are alright

I tell no stories and I sleep good at night

Things were different just before I met you

Now I worry wonderin' what to do

I was happy never playin' your game

Now you tell me that your name is William Wilson

I run up the staircase and there’s nobody there

I play my records and then I haven’t a care

My ears to the speaker and the heartache’s forgot

Sometimes I’d forget you, other times I could not

I’d lie crying on the top of my bed

I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led

I would cry for you and call out your name

Now you say no one’s to blame but William Wilson

William Wilson, William Wilson

William Wilson, let him run wild

I want to talk to him

I want to talk to him

Where is he now?

Where is he now?

I wanna be like him

I want to see him grin

Where is he now?

Where is he now?

I’d lie crying on the top of my bed

I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led

Now I understand we’re both just the same

Now I tell you that my name is William Wilson

William Wilson, let him run wild

Let him run wild
