[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
