Daybreak
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.
Does your head not ache when you try to break the day
Cos your dreams seem real if you dream your life away
Do you sometimes wish you could have your time again
Cos you just can't take the reflection that you face
Daybreak, why do you come so late
Daybreak, why do I ache
And the world won't wait while you count the hours away
Will your life stand still if you waste another day
Daybreak, why do you come so late
Daybreak, why do I ache
Daybreak, why do you make me wait
Daybreak, why do I ache
Daybreak
Daybreak
All at once you slip and drown
Do you feel it coming down (every day)
Watch the hands on the face (every day)
Getting fast day by day (every day)
All you have, all you take (every day)
What's the use anyway (every day)
Because you know in the end (every day)
All you want is a friend (every day)
Leave them all, (?) (daybreak, why do you come so late etc)
But they don't understand (every day etc)
(?) from the rest
(?) be yourself
Never (?) , never sleep (daybreak, why do you come so late etc)
Everyone is looking in (every day etc)
Falling out, falling in
Everyone's got to be
All at once, slip and drown (daybreak, why do you come so late etc)
Do you feel it coming down (every day etc)
Watch the hands on the face
Getting fast day by day
All you have, all you take (daybreak, why do you come so late etc)
What's the use anyway (every day etc)
Calling out from within
They can't hear anything
