Everyone's trying to build something out of nothing
There's a method in the madness I can't fathom but I've got to rush in
I'm tired of being punished for dreaming honestly and
Who says you can't be educated while you are in motion
Help me baby
Help me baby
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby
Help me baby
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening
Oh you thought your life was a figure eight
Oh nobody said it would be easy
You tried to look for another way and
Seems to always be the long way down boy
You can't outrun what was yesterday
You can fall far enough to see
Oh you thought your life was a figure eight
Oh nobody said there won't be dancing
The televisions been telling us something different
We're yelling at different levels I can't even begin to question it
Who told us this was music what happened to the voices
That me how to sing and made me believe in it
Help me baby
Help me baby
Can't close your eyes and wish the world away
Help me baby
Help me baby
Everyone's talking but nobody's listening
Oh you thought your life was a figure eight
Oh nobody said it would be easy
Why must I fight for another word
A smaller verse or refrain from it
To hook you
Won't make the cut for the radio edit
But let's fight
Get me someone to save it
How long have we got till breaking through illusions
I'm picking up the broken pieces
A mirror doesn't show the future
But is it enough to make you a believer
Well my mind is aching
And the world is breaking
Am I making up the complications
Well my body's old and my thoughts are older
But isn't it old enough for a little patience
Isn't it old enough for a little patience
I'm picking up the broken pieces
You tried to look for another way and
Seems to always be the long way down boy
You can't outrun what was yesterday
You can fall fall
Oh you thought your life was a figure eight
Oh nobody said there won't be dancing
I've been patient
I've been waiting
Complicating
While we're waiting
I've been patient
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
