Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Unsealed, on the wayside, a letter said
"I don't have to ever feel this way again, oh, no"
On the wayside, on the front step, letter said
"I don't have to ever come this way again, oh, no"
[Verse 2]
On the wayside, I'd like to wish this all away, yeah
And I tried and I phoned and I coulda left a message, but
The line was dead
On the wayside, on the front step, letter
It said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
[Verse 3]
Ay, yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah
But they don't wave
I see them round the front way, yeah, and I know, and I know
Round the front way, yeah and I know
I don't wanna stay, oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Mm, I see 'em, I wish this all away
And I tried and I phoned and I coulda left a message, but
There was no way
On the wayside, on the front step, letter
Oh, it said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
[Verse 5]
Ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay, yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch? Yeah
But they don't wave
I see them round the front way, yeah, and I know, and I know
I don't wanna stay
[Verse 6]
Ay, oh, I don't want to stay, yeah
I don't want to stay, yeah
Oh, I don't want to stay, no, no, oh, oh
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, ah, ah
Oh, uh-huh, yeah, ay, yeah, mm
