running the race 

like a mouse in a cage 

getting nowhere, but I'm trying 

forging ahead 

but I'm stuck in the bed 

that I made, 

so I'm lying 



but if you keep real close 

yeah, you stay real close 

I will reach you. 

I'm down to a whisper 

in a daydream on a hill 

shut down to a whisper 

can you hear me still 

eager to please, 

trying to be what they need 

but I'm so very tired 

I've stopped trying to find 

any peace in my mind 

‘cause it tangles the wires 



but if you keep real close 

yeah, you stay real close 

I will reach you. 



I'm down to a whisper 

in a daydream on a hill 

shut down to a whisper 

can you hear me 

can you hear me 

still the sound, 

it dies on my lips 

to fade away 

and to forget 



I'm down to a whisper 

in a daydream on a hill 

shut down to a whisper 

can you hear me, can you hear me (repeats) still.
