Lyrics


WHEN YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES
Words and music by Roger Ferguson

Something?s taken hold of you, and it keeps you from seeing the truth
It makes you argue with reality, and you?re losing every time
Friends who know you say you?ve changed
Pushing them away and acting very strange
Turned your back on everyone you love
But, you keep telling everyone you?re fine

chorus
When you come to your senses, you?ll look around yourself and see
Sad eyes crying through the smoke from burning bridges
Praying for you to be free
When you come to your senses
When you can finally see
The trail of tears from broken promises and wishes
I?m quite sure where I?ll be

You deny that you?re aware of any hurt or harm you may have done
Minimizing, blaming, sly diversions-- just trying to buy some time
Changing places changing faces and friends
Anyone with sense can see just how this thing ends
You think good?s bad and bad is better
And, you keep telling everyone you?re fine

When you come to your senses, you?ll look around yourself and see
Sad eyes crying through the smoke from burning bridges
Praying for you to be free
When you come to your senses
When you can finally see
The trail of tears from broken promises and wishes
I?m quite sure where I?ll be

(spoken)
To think that you can run away from truth is quite insane
Eventually everybody has to deal with pain

You fooled all the people all the time
But most of all you fooled yourself
The strength to deal with loss and pain?s not in some plastic bottle on a shelf
You can hardly run, and surely can?t hide
The big hole in your soul is growing wider
And it can not be filled with medicine
Still, you keep telling everyone you?re fine

When you come to your senses, you?ll look around yourself and see
Sad eyes crying through the smoke from burning bridges
Praying for you to be free
When you come to your senses
When you can finally see
The trail of tears from broken promises and wishes
I?m quite sure where I?ll be
Repeat chorus

*alternate last line-- I?m NOT sure where I?ll be.
