lyrics

You've got me under your spell;
It hasn't worked so well for me.
So I am flying south
for winter, summer, fall, and spring.
I'll set sail for the coast and let go
of this anchor I've been holding on to.
If I don't I'll drown;
you're pulling me under.

We're all born with a built-in beating compass,
no thought needed; you should just feel it.
We're all born with a built-in beating compass.

I'm swaying back and forth,
so determined to find my new due north.
Everyone around is telling me
that I am way off course.
But the voices inside my head don't agree.
They keep telling me....

We're all born with a built-in beating compass,
no thought needed; you should just feel it.
We're all born with a built-in beating compass.

I feel myself begin to fall between the cracks.
I've lost myself to something I know I'll regret.
Another face, forgotten names,
winding circles for a path.
I'll step aside and watch it slide,
swept in to the past.

We're all born with a built-in beating compass,
no thought needed; you should just feel it.
We're all born with a built-in beating compass.
