Lyrics

I can't sleep on my side oh
my shoulders are too wide
I've tried and I've tried
I've tried and I've tried
to change
in my sleep I grind my teeth
they say it's bad for me
but I've tried and I've tried
I've tried and I've tried
to change
I love the way the snow
falls like confetti
out of the trees and as for me
if I try and I try
will something as beautiful and strange
happen to me
hello
I'm looking for a friend I'm
not sure I'm still on the line
I'm looking for the road to bend I'm
looking for a sign
she can't do the right thing
and he just keeps her kneeling
what he can't explain
is he doesn't like to change
lately it's been a hard time
you lie there wondering why
when you've tried and you've tried
you've tried and you've tried
to change
you love the way the snow falls like white ballons
out of the blue
and as for you
if you try and you try
will something as beautiful and strange
happen to you
I know
I'm just a stone's throw away
cause I can feel the bars
are bending on this cage
and don't you say that I'm
hard to get to
tough to explain
cause I, I know you
you are the same
we've got to change
hello
I'm looking for a friend I'm
not sure I'm still on the line
I'm looking for the road to bend
I'm looking for a sign
I can't sleep on my side oh
my shoulders are too wide
though I've tried and I've tried,
I've tried and I've tried
to change
