lyrics

I've been standin' with my back on the wall.
My eyes are heavy but I won't let 'em fall down now.
Gotta' keep my cool as the night moves along,
but all this conversation is becomin' the same old sound.

I hear the words,
they don't make no sense now.
Know where I am,
but can't find my way out.

I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down.
I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down right now,
but if I never come around,
just gimme some help.

(Calm down, man! You're in good hands.)
I wanna' trust you but I can't even trust myself.
(Rest easy! You're close to the promised land.)
I'm so tired, I could sleep my whole life away.

I've never been so close to heaven.
Not much to say,
but so many questions.

I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down.
I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down right now,
but if I never come around,
oh, then let me go.

They used to tell me everything's as it seems.
I'd close my eyes and make believe that it's all a dream,
cause I'm at square one even when I move along.
Can't make amends when it's becomin' the same old song.

I know the words,
but I know there's better.
Why stay inside when you can change the weather?

I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down.
I don't wanna' come back,
I don't wanna' come back down right now,
but if I never come around,
oh, then let me go.
