lyrics

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. If I showed you, you'd've closed your eyes. Nothing ever makes much sense and no one's ever known your fight. Yeah, I'm fine. I can see you on the outside, wasting away, something eating you from inside. In all the wisdom of the books we've read, what is the life of a man anyway? Been walking around campus for the ninetieth time. I won't believe it's only been two weeks. I hate everyone I know and I love everyone I see, what's with me? Because I'm still a broken man and I wanna go home, and I'm looking for some kind of light to show me where to go. Been trying to fill this emptiness with everything material, a story that you've heard before. I might as well not speak, but in fact that's worse than what was before. What was before? Wake up and rub your eyes, darling, another day has come. I wish you best although we've never met. One day, I hope we'll reminisce, look back on all the things I missed. What did I miss? You've been walking through the snow, hoping one day you'll find just exactly where you're supposed to me. I've been working on reaching you. I hope you're working on reaching me, too. Because I'm still a broken man and I wanna go home, and I'm looking for some kind of light to show me where to go. Been staring at the headlights, writing it down, and I'm waiting here for the dawn. I don't really have a place to go. I just hope I'm not the only one, not the only one. I'm scared of tornadoes and people dying quickly and that mother won't remember my voice. They say that nothing stays the same. Guess I'm waiting for some kind of change. Will I change? Because I'm still a broken man and I wanna go home, and I'm looking for some kind of light to show me where to go. I'm still a broken man and I wanna go home, and I'm looking for some kind of light to show me where to go. The answer is standing there, singing, “open your eyes, child.” You're the only one I see, the only one I'll find.
