Tell Me

Everyone is just walking in the shadows now

With heads down, with heads down

Just moving on and on, it doesn’t matter how

Faking smiles, faking smiles

Society wants us to get there

But, honey, I tell you there is no there

I'm afraid this day will never come

Baby, fullfilment is not there

Also happiness is not there

You know this place will come undone

You paint a clock on your skin so you never forget

Time is running, is running

You see a target really far away from you

But what’s there? What’s really there?

You just keep never asking why

You don’t know what to do with time

So you’re just throwing all away

Your days are only passing by

Most of the time you close your eyes

So you feel everything is great

So I ask you to

Tell me about your greatest days

What puts a smile on your face

Tell me what makes you laugh and cry

And I ask

Tell me what takes you across the hills

What makes your skin chill

Tell me what’s getting in your mind

And ask yourself why

Your days are only passing by

Most of the time you close your eyes

So you feel everything is great

So tell me: Is it for real? No!

You just keep never asking why

You don’t know what to do with time

So you’re just throwing all away

Your days are only passing by

Most of the time you close your eyes

So you feel everything is great

So I ask you to

Tell me about your greatest days

What puts a smile on your face

Tell me what makes you laugh and cry

And I ask

Tell me what takes you across the hills

What makes your skin chill

Tell me what’s getting in your mind

And ask yourself why

Tell me about your greatest days

What puts a smile on your face

Oh, what makes you laugh and cry

What takes you across the hills

That thing that makes your skin chill

Run for it, it’s time to save your life

And leave the rest behind
