Story Behind The Song

a tough break-up

Song Description

Finding someone you love in a new city, then wandering that big city alone when they've gone.

Lyrics

tough times, well they come and go
but somehow this time that isn't so
I've got too much time to think of the things that I've lost
this city, well it used to be fun, and I felt so free
but now that she's gone its been so lonely
I'm finding it harder to breath

(chorus)
when will i wake up and open my eyes
this feeling takes up too much of my time
is she really worth it, I don't know


now all I want is to talk with her then she'd find
this was all a mistake and leave it behind
and never think of this again
I turn on the radio for advice
this song's on, it's asking the same questions that I've got
but it's good to know that I'm not alone

(chorus)
'cause I dream of standing in a payphone
just blocks from her house
and i said, "hey girl, won't you come out?
I don't expect you to let me in
I know you never let anyone in"
then she looked out her window

down past the rain and she said, "don't move
I can't lose you again"
the sound of that phone falling
as she came running towards me
but before she got there
I was awake and she was not there
I couldn't take the emptiness that found me
now loneliness surrounds me again

tough times well they come and go
but somehow this time that isn't so
I've got too much time to think of the things that I've lost

when will I wake up and open my eyes
this feeling takes up too much of my time
is she really worth it, I don't know
I dont want to wake up so

I close my eyes tight, and I try to go back
it was a long night, but I couldnt go back
I only dreamt of falling
it's when i dreamt of falling that I'd wake up
