Looking For You

In the middle of a sleepless night
It sneaks in through my window
It takes its time, it stays nearby
'Til I get down to zero
And when I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink
I almost go downstairs
Where there's a bottle waiting for me
If I find my way there
Here's where it speaks
Asking me to freeze
Whistling diamond days
Telling me my dreams
In the middle of a sleepless night
It sneaks in through my window
It takes its time, it stays nearby
'Til I get down to zero
When I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink
I almost go downstairs
Where there's a bottle waiting for me
If I find my way there
Here's where it speaks
Asking me to freeze
Whistling diamond days
Telling me my dreams
And I'm looking for that higher vibration
It's fading, but I'll tell you what I know
I believe it will unlock every station
I believe it will untie every rope
A doctor asked me to describe
What I thought was my mission
I tried to think of something deep
It seemed beyond description
He said, it's right in front of you
It’s only to be well
To take the days just as they come
And try to ring some bells
And I'm ready for a higher vibration
It's faint, but I'll tell you what I know
I believe it will unlock every station
I believe it will untie every rope
It loves you and it's headed for your window
It loves you and it's coming to your home
What you're looking for's looking for you, too
What you're looking for's looking for you, too
What you're looking for's looking for you, too (don’t move)
What you're looking for's looking for you, too (don’t move)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
There's no tiger in the room
There is no one lunging at you
But everything is trying to talk to you
And who you are becoming
What you're looking for's looking for you, too
What you're looking for's looking for you, too
What you're looking for's looking for you, too (don’t move)
What you're looking for's looking for you, too (don’t move)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
