lyrics

I've been workin the nightshift
watchin the red shift of that crazy star your on
wondering where you'll light down
or whether you'll burn out
bright enough to see it from my car

But I'm tired of being tied and bound
yes I'm tired of being around
lately I feel so trapped between
what everybody else want me to be
and what I've felt for some time is right for me
and I know we only play a part
but sometimes, sometimes

It's nice to pretend
get a little lost in my head.
Who am I to say who I'm supposed to be
if I don't even understand what I mean when I say me
only questions give you truth
only ask and you are free

The dashboard lights have been flickerin
this body feels lived in
things burn out quicker than we expect
calculated obsolescence of my adolescence
like a ship that's built to wreck

But give me time
give me time, I still need some peace of mind
barely grown in my father's home
he tried to wrap my heart in stone
but I never forgot you can't make it on your own
and I'm doin what I can to be a man
but sometimes, sometimes

I still like to pretend
get a little lost in my head.
Who am I to say who I'm supposed to be
if I don't even understand what I mean when I say me
only questions give you truth
only ask and you are free

It's nice to get a little
lost in the good nights in the middle of the dark
caught in the headlights, animals at heart
tell me all your worries, show me where you're hiding
in your head
