They called it living, my life had turned to grey, and well
I was unhappy, but I turned the other way
And saw all the lovely people, they told me where to go
All the lovely people, well I guess they didn’t know

Then I saw the light and let the rest fade away
I saw the light in a world turned grey

Well I didn’t listen, but I learned just what to say, and I
Well I made a promise, and then watched it turn to grey
And I know I let it happen, but when everything was gone
I knew I didn’t listen, but I don’t think I got it wrong

'Cause I saw the light and let the rest fade away
I saw the light and it burned through grey

It's a really odd thing, it's a wild world, it's a wild world (oh-ohh)
Still don’t understand a thing, it's a wild world, it's a wild world (woah, oh-ohh)

Sometimes doing nothing, is just like doing everything
Doing nothing, is sometimes doing everything
Doing nothing, is doing everything
