lyrics

New tomorrow, old surprises
Wake up slowly hypnotized
By all the voices I’m abiding
I can’t tell which one’s lying

Believe me when I say to you I’m pulling through
But it might take a while

Down the road one headlight blind
You reached right over by my side
And crossed over the broken line
Between the heart and the mind

Of all the roads we had to travel fast upon
I sometimes wish that wasn’t one

They say nothing really changes time just rearranges all
I guess this life is just a game and I’m just realizing it now


I hope to grow as old as mine
In a homemade home, in homemade time
With a homemade lover in my bed
A homemade hand to hold my head

I don’t want to go to sleep tonight
I feel like staying up late instead

I wake up slowly word by word
A silent prayer, a wounded bird
A nurses wing across my breast
An albatross around my neck

Of every thought that passes through
I’m glad for now it’s you that I’ve been thinking of

They say nothing really changes time just rearranges all
I guess this life is just a game and I’m just realizing it now

I bet the current underwater won’t drag me any farther down
But just for show, reel me back in slowly, I’m hanging from a thread right now
