Lyrics
I'm just a toy waiting for you to play me I wanna make, just make you happy There's no future I see with you in it I just don't fit, not the right plastic

[Refrain] Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man

[Pre-Chorus] How many times I gotta listen to your mouth go? How many times? How many times? How many times?

[Chorus] Turn the clocks back to the way things were I never wanted to be this me (Erase, eraser) Show me back then, the kid before the man I don't think this me is who I am

[Verse 2] Oh, middle age, come bring me a crisis What am I worth? Does the truth hurt? Identity ride the tails of disaster Ease on the clutch, who gives a fuck?

[Refrain] Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man Oh, I'm not mad, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

[Chorus] I'll turn the clocks back to the way things were I never wanted to be this me (Erase, eraser) Show me back then, the kid before the man I don't think this me is who I am

Ha-ha-ha!

[Bridge] Turn the clocks back to the way things were I never wanted to be this And I never wanted to be this I never wanted to be this me

[Chorus] Turn the clocks back to the way things were I never wanted to be this me (Erase, eraser) Show me back then, the kid before the man I never wanted to be this, just erase this I never wanted to be this, just erase me
