How many times in a day
Can I reasonably say
I'm tired
And how many times
Can I try
In my right mind
To relight this old fire

See I'm sitting in the rain
The roof it blew away
So many yesterdays
And from the window pane
I watch the children run away
Quick like flames
This is the game
But I don't want to play
I want to stay right here in my miserable state
Don't go I'm lying
I am desperate for change
But I am desperate to feel safe
And love is not the same as knowing

About these dusty halls
And these creaking floor boards
And the sound it makes as you shut the door
Cause you're tired of how I talk and talk and talk
About how I'm trying
