Walking Pantoum
Like a mad man in trouble
With my hands tied
Giving up the struggle
Giving up the fight
With my hands tied
I can no longer win
Giving up the fight
Letting you in
I can no longer win
I have nothing to lose
Letting you in
Because it’s you I choose
I have nothing to lose
Not sight of what I’ve become
Because it’s you I choose
So I have already won
Giving up the struggle
Not sight of what I’ve become
Like a mad man in trouble
I have already won
