Five in the morning, lying in bed 

Listening to the thunderstorm in her head 

Looks around the room as she opens her eyes 

Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by 

She's been sleeping a long time 



Quiet now, everyone still asleep 

She can feel her heart beating, she can hear herself breathe 

Her mother told her to be a dark mystery 

But the darkness is out of control and she can't see 

But at least she's alive 



CHORUS 

She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street 

Saved by the power of her own two feet 

Remembering a song from long ago 

It's around and around, it's the way things go 

The way things go 

Shivers in the cold, slips on her clothes 

Walks downstairs, icy wind blows 

Face to face inside the front door 

It's not a crime to need more 

There's something I'm looking for 



If you leave now you can never come back 

You're throwing us away, you can't do that 

I'm falling like a leaf from the family tree 

I don't need you the way you need me 

You need me 



CHORUS (2x) 



Five in the morning, lying in bed 

Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
