Waking up, he wonders if the voices in his head
Are still asleep, he says a prayer in hopes they might be dead
He can't say which way is up
But he knows he's had enough
He sings to no one
If I could tell 'em what I seen, maybe they would let me out
If I could tell 'em what I mean, maybe they would think about
How the memories only come for us at night
Maybe they would finally let me live to see the daylight
Oooh
Coming back down to earth, it's got him by a string
He never thought he'd be a caged bird, never learned to sing
If he never looks back down
Will he ever hit the ground
He knows the odds, he knows the roads all wind up back at the same place
He knows the rocket that he's built won't carry him to outer space
But he straps in anyway
Knowing he might never see the light of day unless he flies
If I could tell 'em what I seen, maybe they would let me out
If I could tell 'em what I mean, maybe they would think about
How the memories only come for us at night
Maybe they would finally let me live to see the daylight
The daylight, yeah
The daylight
He's waking up, he's watching out, he's falling down, he's calling me
He's breaking up, he's breaking down, he's calling out just what he needs
He's waking up, he's watching out, he's falling down, he's calling me
He's breaking up, he's breaking down, he's calling out just what he needs
If I could tell 'em what I seen
If I could tell 'em what I mean
Oh, the memories only come for us at night
Maybe they will finally let me live to see the daylight
If I could tell 'em what I seen, maybe they would let me out
If I could tell 'em what I mean, maybe they would think about
How the memories only come for us at night
Maybe they would finally let me live to see the daylight
The daylight
Oooh
