[Verse 1:]
I stare at the headlights 'til I get my head right
And the dogs stop their howls on the porch
My head is an ocean and I'm getting homesick
For a place I've never known
And I just keep laughing when I'm stuck in traffic
At the metaphor I've become.

[Refrain:]
Maybe I'm restless, a manic, depressive
Or maybe I need someone
Or maybe not.

[Chorus:]
So please just give me something for the pain
'Cause my heart softens to your name
And when you're gone I come undone
And when you're gone how come I'm weak
And I walk wires and I pull teeth
And I'm so tired of chasing dreams
I need someone to wake me up
I need someone to wake me up
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

[Verse 2:]
I remember the evening you showed me Cat Stevens
Now I fill the room up with "Father and Son"
Two minutes emotion, for I was frozen
By the fear and the boredom
Now I've run out of reasons to pick up your pieces
I just tried to recall what once was.

[Refrain:]
Maybe I'm desperate, a manic, depressive
Or maybe I need someone
Or maybe not.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
And I want you
Oh my god, I want you
To see me here this day
And I want you
Fill your sleep and haunt you
To see the mess you've made
You've made
And I want you
And all my dreams are no use
When I am wide awake
And I want to
Believe I haven't lost you
It's driving me insane
Insane.

[Chorus]
