I have been sleepwalking

Since I was fourteen

Now as I write my song

I retrace my steps

Wake up

Another domino falls

Either way

To understand all sides

But I'm just trying to find myself

Through someone else's eyes

So show me what to do

For losing so much time?

Wake up

Roll up your sleeves

There's a chain reaction in your heart

A little at a time

I feel more alive

          Gm                 Dm
I let the scale tip and feel all of it

It's uncomfortable but right

Bb              F
We were born to try

   Bb             Eb
To see each other through

            Gm                 Dm
To know and love ourselves and others well

Is the most difficult and meaningful

Work we'll ever do
