Lights go out and I can't be saved, tides that I tried to swim against Brought me down upon my knees, oh I beg, I beg and plead - singing Come out of the things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head - and a Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed - singing
You are You are (w/Piano Riff)
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks - gonna come back and take you home, I could not stop that you now know - singing Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities - am I A part of the cure, or am I a part of the disease? - singing
You are You are You are You are (w/High Piano Riff) (w/High Piano Riff) You are You are
And nothing else compares Oh, nothing else compares And nothing else compares
(w/High Piano Riff) (w/High Piano Riff) You are You are
Home, home, where I wanted to go Home, home, where I wanted to go Home, home, where I wanted to go You are Home, home, where I wanted to go You are (fade out)
