Expectation

Everything you ever told me could have been a lie

We may never have been in love

Stuck on thinking that there is always something to lose

Or a hit from above

Or a hit from above

I don't need what I'm holding

What I'm holding on

I wish I didn't know

But meanwhile

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Expectation is taking its toll

'Cause everything you ever told me could have been a lie

We may never have been in love

And then I will escape

I'll never ever have to see another disappointed face

No one to please

Every now and then it feels like

In all of the universe there is nobody for me

I told myself I wouldn't care, no I wouldn't care

But when she said she'd come 'round

I combed my hair, yes I checked my hair

Oh

And meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuations are aching my soul

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuation does make me feel old

Expectation is taking its toll

Fluctuations are aching my soul

(Expectation is taking its toll)

(Fluctuations are aching my soul)
