Lyrics
No sleep tonight, you leave the lights on.
Every noise means somethings wrong.
And you get scared when I'm gone too long.
Everytime I go.
And you talk all night but you can't explain.
You're saying the things you don't mean again.
And then standing in the pouring rain.
You'd better heed the warning.
Swallowing what you thought was pride.
Contemplating suicide. But it's easier just to run and hide.
Everywhere you go.
And you talk all night, but you can't relax.
You're so damn tired of facing the facts.
You say " I can't talk now, I've got a knife in my back"!
You'd better heed the warning.
Solo
All alone you face this world but no trumpets blow, no flags unfurl.
In the shells they drop, you expect a pearl. Everywhere you go.
And you can't stop that throbing pain, or wash away that ugly stain.
And no word from Jesus to accept the blame.
You'd better heed the warning. Everywhere you go.
The situation seems, hopeless.
