Getting to the Point

It's out of control, And there's nothing I can do now Out of control, spinning softly through the blue now And look beyond these walls as the meaning starts to dawn It's getting to the point, getting to the point It's out of control, nothing I can do Like a fire that keeps on burning And nobody knows what I'm going through And the thoughts just keep returning And all you had to say, was that you were gonna stay It's getting to the point, getting to the point It's getting to the point where nobody can stop it now It's getting to the point of no return And all that I can do is stand and watch it now watch it burn, burn, burn It's getting to the point where reasons are forgotten It's getting to the point where no one knows And all that I can do is say I'm sorry, but that's the way it goes It's getting to the point Forever is a long way, forever takes your breath away I'd like to talk about it, try to understand It's getting to the point, getting to the point It's out of control, nothing I can do Like a fire that keeps on burning And nobody knows what I'm going through And the thoughts just keep returning And all you had to say, was that you were gonna stay It's getting to the point, getting to the point --- Getting to the Point - Electric Light Orchestra
