[Verse 1]

Out on my own, where I found you alone

You were caught up in somebody else's mess

And yes, I drank all those drinks on my own

My life's become some blurry little quest

And the clock kept ticking slowly

And you leaned over to ask me

If I even had a clue where I was

Well I lied down on your wood floors

And my brain and body took course

And the night ended as though it never was


[Pre-Chorus]

It all began to feel insane

I wanna know where they keep the rain


[Chorus]

Sylvia, right back where you came from

You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb, but

Sylvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough

Enough is enough


[Verse 2]

Sick to the bone on the steps to my home

The moon shined through the drapery of leaves

Too hurt to ignore everyone of my own

My true love just to feel some made-up breeze

But as my body crumbled, you walked as I just stumbled

And we spoke only of things made in my head

You never once controlled me, while all the others told me

That if I kept on going, I'd be dead


[Pre-Chorus]

It's not just you who fed the pain

Now tell me where they keep the rain


[Chorus]

Sylvia, right back where you came from

You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb, but

Sylvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough

Enough's always too tough


[Bridge]

See what I've done now, I don't understand

She says I screamed and that I raised my hand, but

I never meant to, wasn't even there

I never meant to, I would never dare


[Chorus]

Sylvia, right back where you came from

You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb, but

Sylvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough

Enough's always too tough

Sylvia, right back where you came from

You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb, but

Sylvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough

Enough is enough
