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
