Now I think I know why

You sounded so strange on the telephone

It's hard when you discover

What keeps you going keeps you all alone

Dreams so real you thought the smoke might never clear

Now you hide it all behind endless cigarettes and tears

Somebody waits for the time I know will never come

You get yourself so high

Then you come down feeling blue

One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough

There's a thousand shining moments

Waiting just to happen to you

Wait until you're stronger

There's no sense leaving when you're down so low

Well it takes the heart a little longer

To see the point in finally letting go

You lose your touch out there standing in the rain

When it's all too much you feel like slipping down again

Somebody waits for the time I know will never come

You get yourself so high

Then you come down feeling blue

One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough

There's a thousand shining moments

Waiting just to happen to you

Somebody waits for the time I know will never come

You get yourself so high

Then you come down feeling blue

One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough

There's a thousand shining moments

Waiting just to happen to you
