Gimme some reasons as to why you don't wake up every mornin'
Feelin' some kinda hope
Cuz I be feelin some type o' kinda way
When you don't make this life somewhat your own
All your days are filled with robotic movements and
All your face just screams
"I'm gonna have a brain aneurysm"
Can't you see? Can't you see you're due for openin' your eyes?
Count to three, please
Yeah I know the workin' days always leave you breathless
And all the nights got you restless
My diagnosis tells me that you're caught up in unnecessary stresses
No, I know that right now there's dark things
Crawlin' round your heart and soul
And honestly I've been there before
I just never let it show
When you open the door
You can find the windows close
That's a sign that maybe it's the way to go
Go
When you see me, standin
Standin on the sidewalk
I be smilin' and wavin' and waitin' for you
To come along
Time was man made
Man don't last forever
Man don't want this all
To ever sever
Gimme some reasons as to why you don't look at me
And say "hello"?
You know the way you talk to me
I really do be diggin' it so how come it's your voice I don't know?
Maybe someone else
Or something different's in your hair
And they be singin lovely music
And ok, I guess it's fair
But why'd you always seem to come back to me once you've done with 'em? Oh
Yeah I know them other guys may say your worthless
And they be leavin you hopeless
But I love you contrary regardless, oh
No I know that no-one's love can be even better than yours
If anybody hurts you come wait at my door
I'll be there before you know
When you open the door
You can find the windows close
That's a sign that maybe it's the way
To go
When you see me, standin
I be standin on the sidewalk
I be smilin and wavin and waitin for you
To come along
Time was man made
Man don't last forever
Man don't want this all
To ever sever
Yeah I know these people put on way too much pressure
And that causes depression
The only pressure that they should apply is on coal to make somethin more precious
No I know that right now there's dark things crawlin round your heart and soul
And honestly I've been there before
God has a plan, yes I know
