Back to Basics

Show me signs, show me billboards

Something to guide my way

I walk with purpose in darkness

Stumble in the light of day

So won't you help me?

Won't you help me out?

I'm starting over here

And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake

Nothing is safe, but so much at stake

When we awake, oh, it's back to business

To the business of hanging on

And all these one-way conversations

And drinks that don't quench my thirst

I look to you for some answers

Your silence, it hangs like a curse

So won't you help me?

Won't you help me out?

I'm starting over here

And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake

Nothing is safe, but so much at stake

When we awake, oh, it's back to business

To the business of hanging on

And to the business of letting go

What you do, do it slow

'Cause I could read the lines

The rhytm in your eyes

And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake

Nothing is safe, but so much at stake

When we awake, oh, it's back to business

To the business of hanging on

To the business of growing cold

To the business of facing facts

And to the business of letting go
