I know that I have seen this place before
A scene like trouble knocking at my door
Words unspoken that I can't ignore
There's no telling what we're headed for

Chilled to the bone
Feet turned to stone
I can't get there on my own

Weighed all thoughts, but think not twice
Packed a suitcase loaded with my vice
Wish I'd taken my old man's advice
Better pack lightly when you're on thin ice

Chilled to the bone
Sunk like a stone
I can't swim it on my own

If this is what it takes
To make my own mistakes
Charge it to the room
Wake up, and check out before noon

Now I'm rolling with the tide
Things couldn't go my way, no matter how I tried
Just trying to reach the other side
At least I'm swimming now, not sinking with my pride

Drenched to the bone
Thrown like a stone
But I'll get up on my own

If this is what it takes
To make my own mistakes
Charge it to the room
Wake up, and check out before noon

Here comes that old familiar call
It rings around the room and bounces off my wall
Time makes the best of us all
Hearts will open just before the fall

Chilled to the bone
Set like a stone
I should have known
The bird has flown
An empty throne
For you alone
The path is shown
We all get there on our own

If this is what it takes
To make my own mistakes
Charge it to the room
Wake up, and check out before noon
