Lyrics
Sometimes it's so hard to understand
Living in a castle made of sand
Nothing left to say or do
Everything is coming loose
But I'll be here another day or two
Night comes and the light begins to fade
Turn the lamp on pull the window shade
Sit and stare at the phone
Wonder if you'll ever call
I tell myself it'll all be okay
Chorus:
And I just go insane
Looking through this darkened windowpane
There's just so much before it breaks
I guess it's time to walk away
But I'll be here another day or two
Listen to the voices through the wall
Listen to the rain begin to fall
Sometimes it's so hard to win
It's harder still to start again
And I'm still here waiting by the phone
See the white lines on the road ahead
Think of all the things never said
Nothing here but more bad news
Running scared is all we do
But I'll be here another day or two
