lyrics

Checking all the time
I can't go then honestly, it's fine
I'll stay home in my room
I've got some things I really should get to

Saving all the grace
I'm sure it will come in useful one day

I thought I would change but I'm feeling the same
But I know what I need to ignore
When its about me
Then its always hurting
So I open my heart once more
And compare myself to before

Turning in my bed
I can't sleep it's 3:05 am
Some people can't be told
Who's making all that noise down the road?

Darkness screaming black
The small hours turn the volume up on panic

Lying right here and all I can see
Are the things that I've never achieved
I wasted my time or I never was brave
Spent my time always playing it safe
Now my heart is open again

Is there really such a thing as satisfaction can I have it?
How am I even supposed the get the thing I really always wanted?

I don't know much, anymore, far less than I did before

Every new day is a knock on the door
A new stranger I've not met before
Standing right here in my slippers and gown
With one hand that rests on the latch
Oh there's so much that I want to ask
