lyrics

Here I am again
Getting weary of these people in my eyes
Drift away from all the crowds and fall asleep by the river
And I dream….
Loneliness is hard and I’m sick and tired of sleeping alone
Like a child I’m feeling something that’s nothing
Like a song without a melody
And I dream sweet dreams
I’m sick and tired
You’re staring at my face
You’re an offer that’s too good to refuse
And I tried to take the time to be alone with you
But tried to hide what’s deep inside, won’t be denied, my stupid pride
It’ll take a bit of time
It’ll take a little pride
And take a bit of getting over
To understand this heart of mine could use a bit of soul
And I want to be with you
Here I go again
Always searching for a non existent prize
Like an idiot I try to solve a crime without a mystery
And I’ve been around, been all over this town
Now I can’t leave it too soon
I’m sick and tired
It’ll take a bit of time
It’ll take a little pride
And take a bit of getting over
To understand this heart of mine could use a bit of soul
And I want to be with you
I look you in the mind to stop you from breaking down
Try to make you understand what’s beyond my comprehension
Beyond my memory
And I’ve tried so hard….
Here I am again
I’m still asleep by the river
Then I’m blown by the wind
And I’ve been away too long
It’s nearly evening
Think its time I’m getting home now
