lyrics

I wake up to a telephone
Reminding me I made it home last night
I pull the sheets over my head
And waste the daylight in my bed, alright
Sometimes it feels like tragedy
That there was never you and me
Or anyone willing to see what I see
You don't have to say it
There's plenty other fish in the sea
With matching melodies

I am self-involved
I am so enthralled by you
Final curtain call
As I cover up the truth
I'm freaked out by the future
But still caught up in the past
And we never seem to make the moment last

I wake up in the afternoon
In the middle of an empty room it seems
At night I ponder loneliness
Insomnia has got the best of me
Sometimes it feels so difficult
To get a positive result
Or anything better than smokescreen insults
You don't have to say it
Relax, take a breath, try again
Well, I am sick of listening

I am self-involved
I am so enthralled by you
Final curtain call
As I cover up the truth
I'm freaked out by the future
But still caught up in the past
And we never seem to make the moment last

Push it out, there is so much more
For you to discover and explore and now the
Wolves are outside your front door
will you let them in, do you feel secure

Make it last, there is not much left
The years come creeping up like death if I was
Just outside of your front door
Would you let me in
Or are you not so sure
Are you not so sure
