Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go to bed now I can tell
Pain is on the way out now
Look away, a domino falls away
[Verse 2]
I know it's hard looking in
Knowing that tomorrow you'll be back again
Hang your head and let me in
I'm waiting
So long
[Verse 3]
I was staring into the light
When I saw you in the distance, I knew that you'd be mine
Am I moving back in time?
Just standing still
I met a man with a broken back
He had a fear in his eyes that I could understand
I can even shake the hand
Without breaking it
[Verse 4]
I've been pulling on a wire, but it just won't break
I've been turning up the dial, but I hear no sound
I resist what I cannot change
And I wanna find what can't be found
[Verse 5]
I'm aware you're tired and lost
Like a demon in the doorway, waiting to be born
But I'm here all alone, just begging
[Verse 6]
Pull me close and let me hold you in
Give me the deeper understanding of who I am
Yeah, I'm moving back again
I'm waiting here
[Verse 7]
I'm just pullin' on a wire, but it just won't break
I've been turnin' up a dial, but I hear no sound
I resist what I cannot change
Own it in your own way
Yeah, I wanna find what can't be found
