Lyrics

Words Escape Me

Why do the words escape me?when I need them to come through
Why do they seem to trip my tongue?when I stand in front of you
Why does it always seem so hard-to make those dreams so real?
Why can?t I ever seem to let you know-exactly how I feel

Wake up in the morning?it never seems as bad
(cause when) I wake up in the morning?so sure of what I have
I got my dreams?and that may be enough (that may have to be enough)
I?ve got my dreams

Why do my foot prints seem so small on the path I chose to take?
And why do I lay awake at night?thinking this all is one big mistake
I make imaginary strangers?seem as real as they can be
But why can?t I write the perfect ending to the script that?s starring me?

Wake up in the morning?it don?t seem as bad
Wake up in the morning?so sure of what I have
I got my dreams?and that may be enough
I?ve got my dreams


There may be a day when it?s clear that I?m wasting time
But until that clarity comes, gonna chase that dream and make it mine

Wake up in the morning?it don?t seem as bad
Wake up in the morning?so sure of what I have
I got my dreams?and that may be enough (that may have to be enough)
I?ve got my dreams

Why do the words escape me?when I need them to come through
Why do they trip on my tongue?when I stand in front of you
I make imaginary strangers?seem as real as they can be
But why can?t I write the perfect ending to the script that?s starring me?
