Michael Kahn

You’re Coming Unglued

You pushed yourself a little too hard

We’ve only got just so much fuel

Slash that knife and you’re gonna get scarred

You better not jump until you check the pool

 

I don’t want to be there when you crash

Don’t want to have to spread the news

I don’t want to be picking up the trash

Or unraveling the laces of your shoes

 

You’re coming unglued

 

You’re coming down

You’re going around

I can read your mood

 

You’re coming unglued

 

I know your dad is a CEO

I know your mom’s an engineer

You are just you and this I know

You can’t be them just be sincere

 

You’re burning out like a titan rocket

Your behavior is getting downright rude

You’re putting your finger in the socket

So I am forced to conclude

 

Chorus

 

Now what goes up must come down

Whatever gets hot will someday cool

If you fight the tide you just might drown

You can play it smart or just play the fool

 

I don’t want to be there when you crash

Don’t want to have to spread the news

I don’t want to be picking up the trash

Or unraveling the laces of your shoes

 

Chorus
