You and Me Both (Revisited)

The guardrail is tempting me

Standing like a sentry to the left of me

It's guarding adventure

That’s certain to be life threatening

Life threatening



I need a tragedy to wake me

From perpetual dreaming

The proverbial "pinch me"

I'm so sick of sleeping

I'm so sick of sleeping



And you wonder why my eyes don't leave my phone

It's no wonder that you feel like you're alone

I think I need a new story

One where I take on the world

The one I'm living is boring

It's killing you and me both



The car crash in front of me

Pulls me back from deep and desperate fantasy

Snaps me wide awake to see the horrible scene

What's happening

What's happening



Is this the tragedy I asked for

Is this blood on my hands a consequence of my own war

I'm so sick of sleeping

I'm so sick of needing more



And you watch every time

As I give myself to death and neglect life

And I blindly desert the plot line you deserve
