I bet you're tired of waking up in hospitals I bet you're tired of drinking icicles It's a short walk down depressing corridors And it's a long walk back to where you were before There's a dream we keep running into And it's a lie if we can figure out how to make it true I stumble on the words I say to you And I want to be the one you stumble back to Watch the light flicker over your fears I bet you're happy that you're still here Know that love is there when you need it most It's a long walk but it's the short way home We don't have to figure it all out tonight Everything and nothing are the same thing in different lights And I'm not scared of opening and closing doors And it's a long way back to where you were before But everything is alright Everything is alright Eyes will close and the sun will rise And we don't have to figure it all out tonight Watch the light flicker over your fears I bet you're happy that you're still here Know that love is there when you need it most It's a long walk but it's the short way home So sleep when you're tired Eat when you're hungry Love when you're loving Drink when you're thirsty Watch the light flicker over your fears I bet you're happy that you're still here Know that love is there when you need it most It's a long walk but it's the short way home
