A thousand times, too many times I've fallen back out of place from a dream The bright sunlight, a rude awakening Like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall That's when, into I reach into memories I long to relive those times Those younger

Merry, merry, merry go round I don’t want to see you down I don’t want to see you frown Merry go round Bobby and his girl would wake up every summer day This boy and girl had nothing, they were runaways So in love that now all they wanted was pain and so

Born to lose and now I'm losing you Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain Every dream has only brought me pain All my life I've always been so blue Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear When I wake and find that you're not there You've grown tired

I see today with a newsprint fray My night is colored headache gray I am the screen, the blinding light I'm the screen, I work at night Don't wake me with so much Receiving department, three A.M Staff cuts have socked up the overage Directives are

When I need you Wake up I'm pounding on the door Where the hell are you I don't want you Until we see this eye to eye I'm not the man I was before I won't hurt you anymore I'm not sober all the time You bring me down at least you try

And there ain't no way Forever and for always We will be together all of our days Want to wake up every I'm lettin' you go now I'll never see that day Cause I'm keeping you Morning to your sweet face, always And there ain't no how
