Sometimes I get too drunk,

I feel so goddamned low

I have no place to go, no one to turn to

I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be

But it's selfish as can be, and I know it

And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too

'cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out

So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you

Listen to them shout

I won't say that I love you, 'cause that would be a lie

I can only say I try, and you know it

Love is something more or less than words can hope to say

It's something day to day in the life we're living

Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find

Yes I can count all mine on one finger

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out

So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you

Listen to them shout

The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change

There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding

So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out

So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you

Listen to them shout
