The Back of My Mind

I can't tell if you're worth saving Who here's convincing who to lean away from the prize, prize? Can you save you from yourself? I've stood so close to you While you've counted reasons to live out your unfinished design Our common retreat is where you can leave me futile replies Then check your doorstep at sunrise A good night's sleep is all that we really do need Not alone, alone We're just one in a billion What makes us truly unique? I'll offer many questions With answers we shouldn't speak I've stood so close to you While you've counted reasons to live out your unfinished design Let's slowly dim our living daylights until we are all blind The night life's perfect You deserve it A good night's sleep with no expectations you'll wake all alone, alone Dear friend, we are one in too many Used as gears we run a machine We're just one in a billion What makes us truly unique? I write to you because no-one else listens Will you convince me to step far away from the prize, prize? Can you save you from yourself?
