The birds are singing but it's still dark,

Moving my pillow for the cold hearth,

I dreamed that I was at the crossroads,

Painting over the signs again.

Pulling myself out of the futon,

I get my hoodie and my shoes on, yeah

Treading water 'til the phone goes,

Running over my lines again.

But they're turning inside out,

And it's bringing me down, cause.

I never say what I wanna say,

I'm just a puppet in my own play,

I dont understand why you dont understand that I need to be heard,

And im gonna find the right words.

A couple argue on the high street,

She wants clothes, he wants a TV,

Everyone is standing at the crossroads,

Painting over the signs again.

Pulling myself out of my headspace,

I realize im in the same place, yeah

Treading water 'til the phone goes,

Running over my lines again.

But they're turning inside out,

And it's bringing me down, cause.

I never say what i wanna say,

I'm just a puppet in my own play,

I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard,

And im gonna find the right words.

I never say what i wanna say,

I'm just a puppet in my own play,

I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard,

And im gonna find the right words.

Wanna go to the beach, when it's ra-aining,

And take my time.

I wanna have my life, do my o-own thing,

And make it mine,

So don't you bring me down!

I never say what i wanna say,

I'm just a puppet in my own play,

I dont understand why you dont understand that i need to be heard,

And im gonna find the right words.

I never say what i wanna say,

And we gonna do it my way,

I dont understand why you dont understand that im gonna be heard,

And i know i found the right words

And i know i found the right words

And i know i found the right word
