Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go
[Verse 2]
Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy, but
My heart is heavy
Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
[Verse 3]
And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
[Bridge]
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh
[Verse 4]
And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises
'Cause there are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
[Bridge]
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake
[Bridge]
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
[Chorus]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
[Outro]
Ah-ooh
I saw the world turning in my sheets
Ah-ooh
And once again I cannot sleep
Ah-ooh
Walk out the door and up the street
Ah-ooh
Look at the stars
Ah-ooh
Look at the stars fall down
Ah-ooh
And wonder where
Ah-ooh
Did I go wrong
