I stare at the headlights 'til I get my head right
And the dogs stop their howls on the porch
My head is an ocean and I'm getting homesick
For a place I've never known

And I just keep laughing when I'm stuck in traffic
At the metaphor I've become
Maybe I'm restless, a manic depressive
Or maybe I need someone

Chorus:
G C/G
So please just give me something for the pain
Em
'Cause my heart softens to your name
C/G
And when you're gone I come undone
G
And when you're gone how come I'm weak
C/G
And I walk wires and I pull teeth
Em
And I'm so tired of chasing dreams
C/G
I need someone to wake me up
I need someone to wake me up

I remember the evening you showed me Cat Stevens
Now I fill the room up with "Father and Son"
Two minutes emotion, four hours I'm frozen
By the fear and the boredom

Now I've ran out of reasons to pick up the pieces
I just tried to recall what once was
Maybe I'm desperate, a manic depressive
Or maybe I need someone
