I've been wondering why nothing ever gets to me

I've been hearing nothing now for far too long

I can hardly stand to sit for one more word

I've been counting seconds 'til I can leave

Won't you let me, let me leave

I've been thinking that maybe this is all my fault

Maybe thinking is the thing that got me where I am now

Let my mind wander to the desert where it's all alone

Can I hold on to what I know?

Sometimes, I don't think so

Pull back the curtain to find that I am not what you thought

And see that what I think is not what you taught

I know all the words I play in all the right keys

Don't be surprised when you find out that you've been deceived

Lately I've grown sick of what's been going on

It seems that I lose control every time I'm alone

And I won't talk about anything with anyone

Even though I know there's nothing I can do

But the question is can I depend on you?

Pull back the curtain to find that I am not what you thought

And see that what I think is not what you taught

I know all the words I play in all the right keys

Don't be surprised when you find out that you've been deceived

Oh Lord, send me back again

When love was all I'd need

Oh Lord, send it back again

The joy of my salvation

Oh Lord, send me back again

To a day when I was free

Oh, Lord, if only I knew then

Once you start you can't never stop
