I got away in the morning light
After staying awake all night
I saw that man standing by the sea
I'm coming back here anyway, uh huh

Well, I want to get good
But I've been doing it wrong
I do what I do, but I don't understand it
I see and I hear but I don't know what you demand
Help me

A gentle wake can save a life
You looked away and opened my eyes
But I remember every word I spoke
It still cuts like a sharpened knife, uh huh

Well, I want to get good
But I've been doing it wrong
I do what I do, but I don't understand it
I see and I hear but I don't know what you demand
Help me

I was sold from the start
Now I'm not at all
