I stare at the headlights 'Til I get my head right And the dogs stop their howls on the porch My head is an ocean And I'm getting homesick For a place I've never known And I just keep laughing when I'm stuck in traffic At the metaphor I've become
Maybe I'm restless, a manic depressive Or maybe I need someone Or maybe not
So please just give me something for the pain 'Cause my heart softens to your name And when you're gone I come undone And when you're gone how come I'm weak And I walk wires and I pull teeth And I'm so tired of chasing dreams I need someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up
I remember the evening You showed me Cat Stevens Now I fill the room up with "Father and Son" Two minutes emotion, four hours I'm frozen By the fear and the boredom Now I've run out of reasons to pick up the pieces I just tried to recall what once was
Maybe I'm desperate, or manic depressive Or maybe I need someone Or maybe not
So please just give me something for the pain 'Cause my heart softens to your name And when you're gone I come undone And when you're gone how come I'm weak And I walk wires and I pull teeth And I'm so tired of chasing dreams I need someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up
And I want you Oh my god, I want you To see me in this state And I want you Fill your sleep and haunt you To see the mess you've made You've made And I want you And all my dreams are no use When I am wide awake And I want to Believe I haven't lost you It's driving me insane Insane
So please just give me something for the pain 'Cause my heart softens to your name And when you're gone I come undone And when you're gone how come I'm weak And I walk wires and I pull teeth And I'm so tired of chasing dreams I need someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up
