thinking back to those simple times
when love was easy
even if it wasn't right

my body is awake
my mind is wandering
no time to wait
no time for sympathy

it's 4 am and I'm up thinking
I've forgotten how to fall asleep
It's a lonely highway
I had it my way
now I'm all alone

It's so simple darling
I've got a way of falling out of control
but I already know
it's time to let go

I was terrified to hold his hand
I thought it was my daddy
but it was another man

at five years old
I learned the truth
I've gotta pay attention to the ones that I hold onto

I once was told
if you want the truth
you have to stay awake
and let the truth find you

so here I am
it's 4 am
and I'm still waiting

It's so simple baby
don't even try to save me
cause I'm better off
moving along
