Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song in my one-bedroom apartment after I left my college town and the rock band I was with for the 3 years before that. I was frustrated with my existance in this world and dreamed of better days. The things I felt back then helped generate the words in the song. When I hear the song, it reminds me of the guitar rock anthems of the 80's. It was a blast to assemble, and to this day, it's the longest song I've written.
Lyrics
I'm tired of wasting my time.
I'm tired of losing my mind.
I'm not alone, I'm not alone.
I'm tired of seeing things through.
Tired of searching for some kind of clue.
I'm not alone.
No, I'm not alone.
Now, I never even figured I'd care,
But lately it seems I can't get anywhere.
I've been looking around here for something new,
I can't wait 'til it comes my way.
There's got to be something that I can do.
I don't think I can make it.
I don't think I can take it.
Take it for another day.
I just got back from a cold dark place.
I've been traveling for far too long.
I just want to see a familiar face,
To assure me I can't go wrong.
What's on your mind when you sleep at night?
Can't you see what's going on?
And how do you feel at the end of the day,
When you never slept before the dawn?
No you never slept before the dawn.
I've been looking around here for something new.
I can't wait 'til it comes my way.
There's got to be something that I can do.
I don't think I can make it.
I don't think I can take it.
Take it for another day.
-SOLO-
I'm losing touch with myself.
I'm dreamin' of cars and guitars and the wealth.
I'm not alone, I'm not alone.
I'm looking for some kind of break.
Looking for some kind of way to escape.
I'm not alone.
No, I'm not alone.
Now, I never even figured I'd care,
But lately it seems I can't get anywhere.
I've been looking around here for something new,
I can't wait 'til it comes my way.
There's got to be something that I can do.
I can't take it for another day.
Looking around here for something new,
I can't wait 'til it comes my way.
There's got to be something that I can do.
I don't think I can make it.
I don't think I can take it.
Take it for another day.
