Lyrics
Sleep, some nights it just don't show
Sleep can sometimes fail to provide relief on certain nights.
When you've pushed and life won't go
When you've exerted effort, but life doesn't progress.
Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow
Your dreams are lost, and sorrows increase.
You read and try to watch TV
Engaging in passive activities like reading or watching TV.
Take a drive out to the sea
Escaping by driving to the sea.
You might break down but you can't break free
Experiencing a breakdown but unable to break free.
Standin' in the crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Caught in a difficult situation, facing challenges.
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind
Struggling to find a lost sense of joy, seeking solace in the wind.
Standin' in the crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Feeling isolated and precarious like being on a high wire.
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend
Avoiding a rational explanation and searching for companionship.
Dreams, your eyes are almost blind
Dreams are clouded, almost devoid of clarity.
They photograph your mind
Memories captured in the mind, leaving a lasting imprint of love.
And leave a trace of her love in time
Love lingers and transcends time.
And nights, you live the smokey past
Nights are haunted by a hazy, nostalgic past.
Try to break the spell she cast
Attempting to break free from a lingering enchantment.
You start out first but you end up last
Initiating with determination but ending up as the last.
Standin' in the crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Repeating the challenging scenario, hanging from the live wire.
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind
Searching for lost happiness, finding refuge in the unpredictable.
Standin' in the crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Stranded in a precarious situation, akin to a high wire act.
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend
Avoiding a logical explanation and seeking companionship.
Oh, crossfire
Emphasizing the intensity of the challenging situation (crossfire).
Ah, live wire
Highlighting the tension and intensity of life (live wire).
Standin' in the crossfire (crossfire), hangin' from a live wire
Reiteration of being caught in a challenging situation.
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind (hidin' in the wind)
Persistently searching for lost happiness in the unpredictable.
Standin' in the crossfire (crossfire), stranded on a high wire (high wire)
Continuing to navigate a precarious situation, like a high wire act.
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend
Choosing to avoid a logical explanation and yearning for companionship.
Looking for a friend
Expressing the desire for companionship.
Crossfire (crossfire)
Reiteration of the challenging situation (crossfire).
Live wire
Emphasizing the intensity of life (live wire).
