what day it all disappeared
As I'm lyin' in my hotel room miles away
voices next door in my ear
Well daytime's a drag, night-time's worse
hope that I can get home soon
But the half-finished bottles of insperation
lie like ghosts in my room

Well I wanna go, I know I can't stay,
but I don't wanna run feelin' this way
Til I am myself     [2 times]
Till I am myself  again

There's a seat on the corner, I keep every night
Wait til the evening begins
I feel like a stranger from another world
But at least I'm livin' again
There were nights full of anger, words that were thrown
Temper that is shattered thin
But the moments of magic are just to short
They're over before they begin

Well I know it's time, one big step,
I can't go I'm not ready yet
Til I am myself     [2 times]
Til I am myself again

[LEAD BREAK]

I had a dream that my house was on fire
People laughed while it burned
Well I tried to run but my legs were numb
I had to wait til the feeling returned
Well I don't need a doctor to figure it out
I know what's passing me by
when I look in the mirror sometimes I see
Traces of some other guy

Well, I don't wanna go, I know I can't stay,
I can't go I'm not ready yet
Til I am myself     [2 times]
Til I am myself again
