Lyrics

Early in the morning just before dawn
I feel sleep come to me
Another night of anxious tossing turning
And of wondering what you think
Am I even complex enough
To intrigue and excite your mind with my thoughts
It’s early in the morning and I haven’t slept for days
I just lie here and picture your face

And I’m drifting through the corners again
And I’m searching for a thread of myself
And I’m wondering if I pull it
Would it all unravel out
Spill onto the ground
And would you like the way that I am

I met you first on a mostly empty bus
At 2am on a Sunday
Low level hum of the bus as it moved on
Relaxed me enough to ask your name
The smile you shot was a poison dart
That tainted my mind and clouded my thoughts
And now I sit by the phone with your number in hand
Just waiting for that courage again

Well I know I can never take control
On the sideline of life
On the outside always looking in
And I see all these opportunities
Like they’re not really mine
Like a dream I’m just imagining
But I don’t want to die
I don’t want to die
Without ever learning to live
It’s just another day for me
