The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm giving up, because I don't know myself
seems I have no one to hold on to
and I don't think that you're going to last
cause your ship is going down, way down so fast
you're just standing there!
what'd you expect?
wouldn't it be nice...
to wake up late at night, and know that you're not alone
wouldn't it be nice...
to wake up late at night knowing someone's next to you
you're just standing there!
what'd you expect?
I don't know how things got this way...
I can't escape, only contemplate
so you got beat down discovering yourself
we'll turn our clock back for just one day
when you take that final leap
keep the ground underneath your feet
and walk this way...
I'll stand outside your window
wondering if I should let you know
that I am here...watching...(watching...)
...waiting for a sign
or a simple explanation why
I can't escape, my heart will break
into a thousand pieces as I hit the floor [x2]
