[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 route

[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 wish trying to remember

But it’s all make believe

[Pre-Chorus]

You are, you are, you are

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] [x2]

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
