Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night Friends are hard to find, especially at night Wish i could show you how to live your life But i'm not sure which one of us is right God only knows, and he's the one that shows, the tears i've cried And if i asked you for the sun, would you not say "light's not the only way to be"? And if i asked you for your love, would you not say "love is not what you want from me"? And would i not be right To sit alone and wonder every night?
