I look up in the dead of night
Wonder why I love the sight
These stars our forefathers saw
By their light I let myself fall
I don't recall putting up this wall
If you're my only hope
Please throw down that rope
Oh, SOS
Where did I go so wrong
SOS
I need you, don't take too long
I fired the beacon, trace the flare to my island
Please come by and save me
Frightened eyes, skittish in the light
Crawl back to my safe spot
Why am I evasive, prone to impatience
And anxious all the time?
Why am I so quick to hide?
When can I turn back this tide?
And why do I-?
I look up in the dead of night
Wonder why I love the sight
These stars our forefathers saw
By their light I let myself fall
I don't recall putting up this wall
If you're my only hope
Please throw down that rope
Oh, SOS
I need you, don't take too long
SOS
If you're my only hope
Please throw down that rope
