Six o'clock and a siren kicks him from a dream

Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop

Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep

And wood to chop before he sleeps

I may never get over

but never's better than now

I've got bases to cover

He's in the parking lot

just sitting in his car

It's nine o'clock but he can't get out

He lights a cigarette

and turns the music down

but he just can't seem to shake that sound

Once I thought I'd get over

but it's too late for me now

I've got bases to cover

Melody walks through the door

and memory flies out the window

and nobody knows what they want

'til they finally let it all go

(The pain) inside, comingoutside

INSIDE, COME OUTSIDE

So many ways to drown a man

So many ways to drag him down

Some are fast and some take years and years

Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep

Finally found the sound but he's in to deep

I could never get over

Is it to late for me now?

Feel I've blown my cover

Melody walks through the door

and memory flies out the window

and nobody knows what they want

'til they finally let it all go

But don't cut your losses too soon

'cause you'll only be cutting your own throat

And answer a call while you still hear at all

'cause nobody will if you won't
