I was choking on a cornflake / You said “Have some toast instead"
I was sleeping maybe three hours / You said “You should get to bed"
I was looking at the new year / You said “Walk before you crawl"
I was feeling like a loser / You said “Hey, you’ve still got me"
But what about me / I don’t really see
How things will improve / If all you want is to stay
Maybe I’m a little greedy / You said “Think before you speak"
The lights are out in the house tonight
And I creep around / I'm gonna creep into your head
All you want is to stay
There’s a little echo calling / Like a miner trapped inside
I was living through the seconds
My composure was a mess
I was miles from tenderness
It was dark outside, the day it was broken in pieces
Everything is flat and dreary
And I know it could be me
I’m always asking for more (more, more, more)
I keep running round in circles
I keep looking for a doorway
I’m going to need two lives / To follow the paths I’ve been taking
