I cry sometimes when I go to sleep
Like it’s far too much for my mind to keep
And the tears that fall aren’t entirely
Aren’t entirely my fault
Gotta rest my head, gotta close my brain
Or they’ll lock me up in the cell again
Can’t escape this life, can’t escape this pain
But I never died before

In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
Guess I’ll live and die by

You can’t tune out if you don’t tune in
If you never lose then you’ll never win
What I’m waiting for is a tide to turn
But the moon is non-existent

In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
Guess I’ll live and die by

Met a nice old man in the fields below
Told me which way to take this stroll
But if I can’t tell left and I can’t tell right
Can I open up my life?

In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
In this weather I can’t close my eyes
When the days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
Days are long and the nights are dry
And all I want is to get off this ride
Guess I’ll live and die by
