| You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can |
| Walk away |
| You can polarize my friends, destroy the letters that I send or you can run |
| Away |
| You can terrorize my neighbors with your Mr. Hyde behavior, you can drink away |
| You can exorcise your demons, bite and scratch and kick and scream, you can |
| Act away |
| And if you ever open your eyes, you won’t find me standing in line |
| You can cauterize my feelings with your flaming tongue leave me reeling you |
| Can talk away |
| You can compromise my passion, call me fake and call me fashion, you can |
| Write away |
| You can rationalize a purchase with my money and say it’s worth it |
| You can tear me up or tie me down and kick me on the ground |
| And if you ever open your eyes, you won’t find me standing in line |
| Caroline, it’s a waste of time (2x) |
| Don’t you want me to come back Caroline? |
| Don’t you want me to fly back Caroline? |
| You can scrutinize my actions, you can break me into fractions, you can |
| Walk away |
| You can idolize your drum machine, say the Beatles suck and dis the King |
| And walk away |
| You can finalize the ending, break the rules that you’ve been bending |
| You can find a brand new lover, run away and then discover |
| You can’t outrun your actions, you can’t get no satisfaction |
| And if you ever open your eyes, you won’t find me standing in line |
| Caroline, it’s a waste of time (3x) |
| Caroline… |
