Sometimes, what you want is not what you need
Sometimes, what feel good later makes you bleed
This thrill ride's over for me and you
Wide awake and leaving you
Wide awake and losing you
I'm going back to the tried and true
You...
Insomniac since you came back
I'm covered up in regrets
I'm counting down the minutes 'til I leave
Awakened from naïve reverie
Some dreams are where I wanted to be
But now they've crashed in reality
Eyes pried open, I can tell your plot has veered off course
My character isn't sticking to the script
Your vision is blurred;
The hero's a jerk;
And the soundtrack's out of tune
But the climax is just in sight
Keep building it up, lie upon lie
Choose your words and alibi before it's too late
Insomniac since you came back
I'm covered up in regrets
I'm counting down the minutes 'til I leave
Your pictures are falling;
My patience is stalling;
I feel like I'm drifting away
So dreams are all you'll have of me
But now they've crashed in reality
Sometimes, what you want is not what you need
Sometimes, what feel good later makes you bleed
This thrill ride's over for me and you
Wide awake and leaving you
Wide awake and losing you
I'm going back to the tried and true
