Tell Me

Everyone is just walking in the shadows now
With heads down, with heads down
Just moving on and on, it doesn’t matter how
Faking smiles, faking smiles

Society wants us to get there
But, honey, I tell you there is no there
I'm afraid this day will never come

Baby, fullfilment is not there
Also happiness is not there
You know this place will come undone

You paint a clock on your skin so you never forget
Time is running, is running
You see a target really far away from you
But what’s there? What’s really there?

You just keep never asking why
You don’t know what to do with time
So you’re just throwing all away

Your days are only passing by
Most of the time you close your eyes
So you feel everything is great
So I ask you to

Tell me about your greatest days
What puts a smile on your face
Tell me what makes you laugh and cry
And I ask

Tell me what takes you across the hills
What makes your skin chill
Tell me what’s getting in your mind
And ask yourself why

Your days are only passing by
Most of the time you close your eyes
So you feel everything is great
So tell me: Is it for real? No!

You just keep never asking why
You don’t know what to do with time
So you’re just throwing all away

Your days are only passing by
Most of the time you close your eyes
So you feel everything is great
So I ask you to

Tell me about your greatest days
What puts a smile on your face
Tell me what makes you laugh and cry
And I ask

Tell me what takes you across the hills
What makes your skin chill
Tell me what’s getting in your mind
And ask yourself why

Tell me about your greatest days
What puts a smile on your face
Oh, what makes you laugh and cry

What takes you across the hills
That thing that makes your skin chill
Run for it, it’s time to save your life
And leave the rest behind
