Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I stare at the headlights till 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 laughin' 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

[Verse 2]

So please, just give me somethin' 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 chasin' dreams

I need someone to wake me up

I need someone to wake me up

[Verse 3]

I remember the evenin' 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 ran out of reasons to pick up your pieces

I just tried to recall what once was

Maybe I'm desperate, a manic depressive

Or maybe I need someone

Or maybe not

[Verse 4]

So please, just give me somethin' for the pain

'Cause my heart softens to your name

And when you're gone I come undone

When you're gone how come I'm weak?

And I walk wires and I pull teeth

And I'm so tired of chasin' dreams

I need someone to wake me up

I need someone to wake me up

[Verse 5]

And I want you, oh my God, I want you

To see me in this state

And I want to 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 drivin' me insane, insane

[Verse 6]

Lord, I hold myself to You

[Verse 7]

So please, just give me somethin' 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 chasin' dreams

I need someone to wake me up

I need someone to wake me up
