Lyrics

When I'm waking up tomorrow

Expressing anticipation or uncertainty about the upcoming day.

I'm hoping I can tell

Hoping for the ability to communicate or share experiences.

Where I ended up, on the sidewalk

Reflecting on a familiar place, the sidewalk, suggesting a recurring situation.

A place I know too well

Acknowledging a well-known and perhaps uncomfortable environment.


I'm focused on the streetlights

Focusing attention on streetlights, a metaphor for guidance or direction.

To make it back to you

Expressing a desire to return to someone or something important.

I'm trying my best tonight

Putting effort into the current situation but facing challenges.

But it's hard to make it through

Highlighting the difficulty in overcoming obstacles or hardships.


Is it all real or in my head?

Questioning the reality of the situation, possibly experiencing confusion.

I think about the things you said

Reflecting on past conversations or advice received.

It's a delusion to pretend

Recognizing the falseness in pretending or denying the current reality.

That everything was perfect

Acknowledging that everything was not perfect, dispelling illusions.

My world was slowly crumbling

Describing a gradual deterioration of the speaker's world or life.

I hated what I was becoming

Expressing dissatisfaction with personal growth or changes.

Now I lay wide awake in bed

Experiencing insomnia, staying awake and contemplating the situation.

It's time to let go and reset

Recognizing the need to release the past and start anew.


And it's like the sidewalk always meets a dead end

Metaphorically describing a recurring feeling of reaching a dead end.

Every car that passes by stops and stares for a second

Observing external reactions to the speaker's situation.

And I bet they're wondering where I've been

Speculating about others' curiosity regarding the speaker's whereabouts.


I'm focused on the streetlights

Reiterating the focus on streetlights as a symbol of guidance.

To make it back to you

Expressing determination to return to a significant person or place.

I'm trying my best tonight

Continuing efforts despite limited options or capabilities.

There's not much that I can do

Acknowledging the constraints and challenges faced by the speaker.

So if you find me can you bring me home?

Requesting assistance or support in finding a way home.

I know I can't do this all on my own

Recognizing the need for help and the inability to face challenges alone.

And maybe that's all that I know

Accepting that dependency on others may be a key realization.


Is it all real or in my head?

Repeating the uncertainty about the reality of the situation.

I think about the things you said

Recalling past thoughts or advice, possibly contributing to confusion.

It's a delusion to pretend

Reiterating the recognition that pretending is a form of self-deception.

That everything was perfect

Affirming that the past was not perfect, dispelling any illusions.

My world was slowly crumbling

Describing a gradual deterioration of the speaker's world or life (repeated).

I hated what I was becoming

Expressing dissatisfaction with personal growth or changes (repeated).

Now I lay wide awake in bed

Experiencing insomnia, staying awake and contemplating the situation (repeated).

It's time to let go and reset

Acknowledging the need to let go of the past and start anew (repeated).
