Looking left, looking right, looking everywhere
I need to see your face once again
But when I’m looking for you, there’s nothing to find!
It’s always me reaching out
And me left behind!
Oh how I hate the windows I was leaning out of
To keep myself in the rain, the salty rain!
How can I look out for you, when I can barely see?
It should be you leaning out, looking for me!!
WAKE UP!
It’s like these dreams,
Where you’re trying to outrun someone?
But I am paralyzed!
And I’m like a puppet under control
Why don’t you cut me loose?
The strings I’m hanging in
Are there to disabuse me!
When I’m looking outside everything
Seems to be as cold as I’m within.
So I’m looking out for myself
But I can barely see!
It should be you looking out, looking for me!
It’s like these dreams,
Where you’re trying to outrun someone?
But I am paralyzed!
And I’m like a puppet under control
Why don’t you cut me loose?
The strings I’m hanging in
Are there to disabuse me!
Don’t patronize, criticize who I am.
At least I am strong ‘cause I won’t give in!!
And I’m like a puppet under control
Why don’t you cut me loose?
The strings I’m hanging in
Are there to disabuse me!
And I’m like a puppet under control
Why don’t you cut me loose?
The strings I’m hanging in
Are there to disabuse me!
