about

A song about addiction, not necessarily to a substance. To the person it's about: I'm sorry I said it wasn't about you. I was trying to keep the peace.

Recorded in Manhattan.

lyrics

Wake up and taste what’s happening to you.
It’s such a waste, but what can I do?

Wake and hear me, god I want you near me,
Turn up the volume and I’ll control my face.
Wake up and see this happening to me this
Feels so wrong, you’re so trapped in this place.
But see things from my point of view, and tell me one damn thing that’s true,
Or find just one thing you can do for me or I can do for you.

Wake up and feel me…try your best to heal me;
Break out the leeches and bleed me till I’m dry.
Wake up and tell me what you’ve got to tell me;
If you can’t finish the least you can do is try
To see things from my point of view, and I know one damn thing is true,
There’s only one thing you can’t do for me and I can’t do for you:

Or just go to sleep, and see if I care, what you do does not affect me.
But I still keep a lock of your hair,
And to tell the truth you know you’ve wrecked me.
