you're not alone. you don't have to be alone--

--

throw away the radio suitcase that keeps you awake.
hide the telephone in case you
realize that sometimes, you're just not okay.
you level off, but it's not alright now--

you need to understand,
there's nothing strange about this.
you need to know your friends;
you need to know that..

i'll be waving my hand,
watching you drown,
watching you scream
quiet or loud

maybe you should sleep,
maybe you just need a friend.
as clumsy as you've been,
there's no-one laughing.
you will be safe in here

throw away this very old shoelace
that tripped you again.
try to shrug it off,
it's only skin now.

you need to understand,
there's nothing fake about this.
you need to let me in,
i'm watching you.

and i'll be waving my hand
watching you drown,
watching you scream,
'no one's around..'

and maybe you should sleep,
and maybe you just need a friend.
as clumsy has you've been,
there's no one laughing
you will be safe in here


clumsy, our lady peace

there's usually someone who can, or does, relate in more ways than you know.

i know. maybe we just needed reminding--needed a lecture :)
