I been waitin', wide awake for the waves to come and take

Take me right to you

One hundred bottles of the good shit, couldn't even bring you back

What am I to do?

Feel like I'm circlin' a drain

All I see is the remains of an ugly truth

One hundred models I could follow all the way to hell and back

But they can't replace you

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was puttin' on for you like a jersey

What I didn't know then couldn't hurt me

Never thought you were gonna do me dirty

Left me in the cold, but on the inside I was burnin'

But that's just the way it goes

Wish that I could have control

Everybody dies alone

(And I ain't dead yet)

Say my prayers

But I lost faith a long time ago (A long time ago)

Dream nightmares

I guess we're gettin' used to losin' hope (Guess, we're losing hope)

I don't even wonder why you don't answer

When I call your name

Are you on the other side? Will you save us?

Or will you run away?

I'm still waitin', wide awake for the waves to come and take

Take me right to you (Take me right to you)

One hundred vials of denial, I know they won't bring you back

What am I to do? (What am I to do?)

You're my alibi and motive

When I'm lyin' to myself of the ugly truth (What an ugly truth)

We're no strangers to the flame

We will never be the same if we make it through

(And we can make it through)

My back is up against the wall

But I used to feel invincible

Yeah, it was us against the world

But somehow, someway, the take was comin'

I remember back then

Played my cards right you were my best hand

Still you keep me guessin'

Wonder if I'll ever get the message

Say my prayers

But I lost faith a long time ago (A long time ago)

Dream nightmares

I guess we're gettin' used to losin' hope (Guess we're losing hope)

I don't even wonder why you don't answer

When I call your name

Are you on the other side? Will you save us?

Or will you run away?

(Are you on the other side? Will you save us?)

(Or will you run away?)
