Five in the morning, lying in bed
|
Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
|
Looks around the room as she opens her eyes
|
Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by
|
She's been sleeping a long time
|
|
Quiet now, everyone still asleep
|
She can feel her heart beating, she can hear herself breathe
|
Her mother told her to be a dark mystery
|
But the darkness is out of control and she can't see
|
But at least she's alive
|
|
CHORUS
|
She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street
|
Saved by the power of her own two feet
|
Remembering a song from long ago
|
It's around and around, it's the way things go
|
The way things go
|
Shivers in the cold, slips on her clothes
|
Walks downstairs, icy wind blows
|
Face to face inside the front door
|
It's not a crime to need more
|
There's something I'm looking for
|
|
If you leave now you can never come back
|
You're throwing us away, you can't do that
|
I'm falling like a leaf from the family tree
|
I don't need you the way you need me
|
You need me
|
|
CHORUS (2x)
|
|
Five in the morning, lying in bed
|
Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
|
