Can You Reach Me?

Lord, I'm in complete retreat
Serendipity has frowned on me
Didn't know
It was possible

Recollection of the smallest scene
In a drawer of all the old receipts
That I got
That I just couldn't toss

Turn me around
Come alive
Find me a way
Northern lights
Terminally
Close with ease
I struggle to find
The borderline

Catatonic on the 7 train
Stuck living in symphonic pain
I don't know
How to make it stop

Celebration is a bitter thing
Television is replete with dreams
I don't want
Another punishment
The hours
Count 'em all
Can't turn it off
But it hurts to get along
In the dive bars
With the backyards
I hope you're not alone
Shout me down
The worst you'll never know

Wherefore art thou
Don't carry on like that
It's been months now
Will you ever come back

Turn me around (wherefore art thou)
Come alive (don't carry on like that)
Find me a way (it's been months now)
Northern lights (will you ever come back)
Terminally (wherefore art thou)
Close with ease (don't carry on like that)
I struggle to find (it's been months now)
The borderline (will you ever come back)

Maybe I've been stalling (wherefore art thou)
Maybe wasting our lives (don't carry on like that)
But I fall short with sorry (it's been months now)
Can you reach me?
