I'm lying all alone
Just me here in my bed
I wanna make my coffee
But think I'll shoot whiskey instead
It's another day here
Just trying to make it work
Trying to do it on my own
And not think about the hurt
Why do dreams seem so far
And the hills seem so steep
How do you know what you give away and what you keep
Is there anybody right now in the world like me
Like a song in your heart and the ringing of a bell
It's raining pennies in my wishing well
It's time to go to work again
The same grind everyday
I can't fit in or understand why
Nobody listens to anything I say
I'm staring at the clock
The minutes dragging, it's so tough
And all I can say is
I think that I've had enough
Why do dreams seem so far
And the hills seem so steep
How do you know what you give away and what you keep
Is there anybody right now in the world like me
Like a song in your heart and the ringing of a bell
It's raining pennies in my wishing well
A look into the future,
I need to know
The needle to the compass
To tell me where to go
