Lyrics
TARDIS I’m tired, or maybe just weary,
From traveling down infinite roads
And though I keep smiling, I’m growing leery
Of making a dent in this world
I’ve cried like an angel and stared to the distance
Out on the edges of time
But I somehow keep going, against all resistance,
No knowing what I will find
As I fade away into another dimension
Of time and space, a victim of my own
Intention
To rule a world that’s bigger on the inside
So many companions have traveled beside me
It’s hard to remember them well
Or dream of the worlds where they never existed
In stories that I’ll never tell
Rose has grown old – she was always my favorite
But always is a relative term
I long to see her, but I’d see myself trying
And see clearly I never learn
So, I fade away into another dimension
Of time and space, a victim of my own
Intention
To rule a world that’s bigger on the inside
Maybe I’m just lonely
Maybe time will tell
Maybe there’s somebody
Out there for me
Oh, TARDIS, I’m tired, and I’m growing weary
From traveling down infinite roads
And my smile can’t hide that I’m going crazy
From making a dent in this world
