[Verse 1]

When you're standing at your window in your bathrobe

Like you do

Like you do

Talking to your mother on your cell phone

Turning blue

You can't move

She says, "Ayla, are you eating like you're supposed to?

Tell the truth

I know you"

You wonder if she knows about the old youth

That you knew

What's the use?


[Chorus]

I wonder if there's more out there

Nothing really feels quite right these days

Ayla, if you hear my voice

Promise me you'll stay awake

I wonder if there's more out there

Nothing really feels quite right these days

Ayla, if you hear my voice

Promise me you'll stay away


[Verse 2]

When you're staring at the ceiling in your bedroom

Every night

Flickering lights

From the broken bulbs in street lamps that surround you

Paint you white

Seconds at a time

You face the wall you used to put your back to

Scatter lines

Pass the time

You feel as though you're trapped inside a vacuum

Can't be right

Is this really life?


[Chorus]

I wonder if there's more out there

Nothing really feels quite right these days

Ayla, if you hear my voice

Promise me you'll stay awake

I wonder if there's more out there

Nothing really feels quite right these days

Ayla, if you hear my voice

Promise me you'll stay away
