Lyrics
Hey, hello I'm not the man I know
What more to say? Nolo contendere
It's 2am, I know not where I am
As I lie awake in my own bed
When I'm seven days from myself
And you think I am somebody else
The battle is inside, fighting the daylight
Shades and all the blinds are now pulled down so tight
And doctor please, you say that it's alright and time is on my side
Then why am I behind?
Sunset - have not seen it yet
More in between this much I know
When I'm seven days from myself
And you think I am somebody else
The battle is inside, fighting the daylight
Shades and all the blinds are now pulled down so tight
And doctor please, you say that it's alright and time is on my side
Then why am I behind?
They're telling you something
They're telling you nothing
They're telling you something
They're telling you nothing
They're telling you something
Hold on to something
Don't hold on to nothing
Hold on to something...
