0:08I've been running around in circles
0:17Pretending to be myself
0:24Why would somebody do this on purpose
0:33When they could do something else
0:41Drowning out the morning birds
0:47With the same three songs over and over
0:55I wish I wrote it but I didn't so
1:00I learn the words
1:03Hum along till the feeling's gone forever
1:11Took a tour to see the stars
1:17But they weren't out tonight
1:19So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite
1:27I want to believe
1:32Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing
1:36You know I hate to be alone
1:42I want to be wrong
1:52You were screamin' at the Evangelicals
1:59They were screamin' right back from what I remember
2:06When you said I will never be your vegetable
2:15Because I think when you're gone it's forever
2:22But you know I'd stand on the corner
2:27Embarrassed with a picket sign
2:31If it meant I would see you when I die
2:39Sometimes when I can't sleep
2:44It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things
2:48Swore I could feel you through the walls
2:54But that's impossible
2:56I want to believe
3:00That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam
3:04Coming to take me to where I'm from
3:10I want to go home
I've been running around in circles Pretending to be myself Why would somebody do this on purpose When they could do something else Drowning out the morning birds With the same three songs over and over I wish I wrote it but I didn't so I learn the words Hum along till the feeling's gone forever Took a tour to see the stars But they weren't out tonight So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite I want to believe Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing You know I hate to be alone I want to be wrong You were screamin' at the Evangelicals They were screamin' right back from what I remember When you said I will never be your vegetable Because I think when you're gone it's forever But you know I'd stand on the corner Embarrassed with a picket sign If it meant I would see you when I die Sometimes when I can't sleep It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things Swore I could feel you through the walls But that's impossible I want to believe That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam Coming to take me to where I'm from I want to go home
