lyrics

At night you toss and turn you wake from troubled sleep
You try to turn away from the memories of your dreams
And in between your words and what you mean
You've built a screen to hide your silent scream

It doesn't matter what you feel
Just as long as it's real

I never had a lover coming round breaking my door
Always me the one running round begging for more
Steadily down, a little closer to the ground, on my knees

At night you toss and turn you wake from troubled sleep
You try to turn away from the memories of your dreams
And in between your words and what you mean
You've built a screen to hide your silent scream

It doesn't matter what you feel
Just as long as it's real

Suppertime, Mom is in the kitchen, on and on it goes
Do I need to be alone now, or do I need more love?
Find myself slide into the fiction that everybody knows
Trying to find a space between the feelings but they're pushing and shoving

Shooting down the red lights, trying to turn a stop into a go
Lying awake at three in the morning, trying to make a yes out of a no
Thoughts rush by like the white lines in the middle of the road
Kept awake by the sound of my breaks, I can't slow down

At night you toss and turn you wake from troubled sleep
You try to turn away from the memories of your dreams
And in between your words and what you mean
You've built a screen to hide your silent scream

It doesn't matter what you feel
Just as long as it's real
