[Verse 1]

Go to bed now I can tell

Pain is on the way out now

Look away, a domino falls away

I know it’s hard lookin’ in

Knowin’ that tomorrow you’ll be back again

Hang your head and let me in, I’m waitin’

So long

[Verse 2]

I was staring into the light

When I saw you in the distance, I knew that you’d be mine

Am I movin’ back in time?

Just standin’ still?

I met a man with a broken back

He had a fear in his eyes that I could understand

I can’t even shake the pain without breakin’

[Chorus]

I’ve been pullin’ on a wire, but it just won’t break

I’ve been turnin’ up the dial, but I hear no sound

I resist what I cannot change

And I wanna find what can’t be found

[Verse 3]

I’m aware you’re tired and lost

Like a demon in a doorway, waiting to be born

But I’m here all alone, just beggin’

Pull me close and let me hold you in

Give me the deeper understanding of who I am

Yeah, I’m going back again, I’m waiting here

[Chorus]

I’m just pullin’ on a wire, but it just won’t break

I’ve been turnin’ up a dial, but I hear no sound

I resist what I cannot change, own it in your own way

Yeah, I wanna find what can’t be found
