She asked me to meet her in the morning She didn't want anyone else to know You ask for truth, you get lies I shouldn't have been so surprised That's just the way it seems to go She said she'd been out to her cousin's And didn't wanna hide it anymore She took a breath but didn't cry She dreamt of her last night And that empty feeling never goes Well we all need someone Yeah we all need someone We all need someone to love And you're my someone You're my someone Yeah you're my someone And I love you She said I can't feel anything I said it's enough to be alive No one came, no one tried To help us through the night Drifting off side by side Well we all need someone Yeah we all need someone We all need someone to love And you're my someone Yeah you're my someone You're my someone And I love you

I'm lost in the woods I can't find my way You didn't come home You got nothing to say Lost in the woods Whatcha running from? Hey whatcha running to? The beat of your own drum? Where did I go wrong? Was it something I said? Was it just an old memory Hiding under your bed? So much to do And so much done Take some time for yourself Have a little fun Lost in the woods I can't find my way You didn't come home You got nothing to say Lost in the woods Whatcha running from? Hey whatcha running to? The beat of your own drum? Friends are all calling me "Hey what's going on?" You never come around But you're never at home What could I say to them? There's nothing to say I'm still looking for you Since you went away Lost in the woods I can't find my way You didn't come home You got nothing to say Lost in the woods Whatcha running from? Hey whatcha running to? The beat of your own drum?

He says "I can't play this game anymore" She doesn't say a word and she's out the door And it feels like, feels like every time before Can't tell the difference between the ceiling and floor "It's for the best" everyone tries to console But that don't help when you're trying to fill the hole Without the love, without the love you want to know And you reach for something, anything to hold Wide awake when the sun goes away The memory is the moon in the light of day She sees him and she almost says hello He starts to call her name but he moves too slow And there's no place, there is no place left to go Except back to where they both have been before Wide awake when the sun goes away The memory is the moon in the light of day Wide awake when the sun goes away The memory is the moon in the light of day
