[Verse 1]
You want someone to blame
The one who drives the rusted nail
But who’s left will never care
Pretending becomes a chore
All you search for, a little piece of mind
Too far, too deep, the two-faced smile
So lost, you feel, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
Wide awake, but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd
Wide awake
Always a stranger in a crowd

[Chorus]
Just this once
Listen to the words, I say
If you want, I will, I’m there
Until the end of time

[Verse 2]
Leave the doomed behind
Search with different light
You were trying to remember
But it’s all make believe
[Refrain]
You are, you are, you are

[Pre-Chorus]
(Wide awake, but still asleep)
Wide awake, but still asleep
Always a stranger in a crowd

[Chorus]
Just this once
Listen to the words, I say
If you want, I will, I’m there
Until the end of time

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Just this once
Listen to the words, I say
If you want, I’m there

Just this once
Listen to the words, I say
If you want, I will, I’m there
Until the end of time
