Tonight, your candle burns at both ends,
Figures and facts turn to wax,
I’m looking for a worn out soul,
Someone to share this lonely hole.
(Ahhh-ahhh)
Tonight, you hold your head in your hands
Your body’s trying to trick you,
If you’re lost, don’t drop off the map,
Zoom out, you’re still in the picture.
Take me where tomorrow is today,
So we can float up from the baseline,
And if you don’t see yourself rising,
Keep your eyes on the horizon.
Today, I pay the toll for a morning bell,
I swerve, banking on a curve,
I can’t wake up, if to sleep I never fell,
Staying up, to watch the minutes blur.
You give everything and get nothing,
Making no sound when you sing,
But what is now, is not what will be,
Nobody’s an island, just waves in the same sea.
Take me where tomorrow is today,
So we can float up from the baseline,
And if you don’t see yourself rising,
Keep your eyes on the horizon.
You close your eyes to look for a dream,
I open my mouth to search for the words,
To stage you the scene,
Where you’re lifted up with the birds.
Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems,
We’ll be okay if we believe in tomorrow today.
You close your mind, it hurts so much to think,
Open your heart and feel for a pulse,
Step back from the brink,
Your power will break down your walls.
Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems,
We’ll be okay if we believe in tomorrow today.
