Yellow Days – Tired lyrics

Oh, what's the use of trying? All you get is grades like that
Howard there's a very familiar pattern of behavior there.
Sometimes we expect great things.
Things can't always work out the way we expect.
When we're severely disappointed, we become emotionally upset.
Well let me try and give you an example of emotional upsets

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always and is sure, of what to do

I drag my feet, all the way long
Figured I should probably spend some time alone
Me, myself, and my cold eye
We always got dumbfounded and we can cry

Now, dreaming, together with realistic planning, can be very fruitful.
But John's dream was not realistic.
He expected perfection on his very first try.
Naturally...

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always and is sure, of what to do

They scream from the towers, sit back and relax
I listen closely, for they can't repeat their lies
I'm at the prize of a good life, and that's where I'll stay
So darling for you I'm gonna change my ways

You say you're tired and I understand
Cause you're my woman and I'm your man
I'll always wait with you
Always and is sure, of what to do

John's so disappointed that he suffered an emotional upset.
He raged and stormed
But that's so childish!
Yes, it was an infantile reaction, and of course,
You wouldn't act that way would you?
Oh, no, that's silly!
But you might feel that way
