Album Version
Whoa
Can you see yourself on the otherside?
It doesn't look good to me
What can you do about your other life?
Is it something you can already be?

You work a lie, the storm's upon your face
And sandles on your feet
You don't care about anything
Just your tunes
And the funky beat

You'll be on there on your own
No one had to punch you anymore
Don't you wish you could say that you had flown?
Not out there feeling alone

Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna say?
Humpty is the hippity day
I know they left you feeling restrained
Does that mean you got to be this way?

Why can't you take just one look?
You'll see how much of your life you already took
You'll see that look on your face
The glassy eyed bloodshot disgrace
Well you said everything's okay
But I know it's not all right
You're in prisons all day
And hell at night
Woah you're telling yourself
Everything's fine
But you live a life of dreams
Why can't you open your eyes?

I tried to help you
I tried leave you
I tried to love you
And I tried to keep you
Turn around and listen to me
Why can't you set yourself here?

Everything may seem fine for a while
When you gonna now stand
On your legs and think
About that worn smile
And later enough'll be on your command
Now is the time to take control
Before what you're doing takes its toll

Well you said everything's okay
But I know it's not all right
You're in prisons all day
And hell at night
Woah you're telling yourself
Everything's fine
But you live a life of dreams
Why can't you open your eyes?

Well you said everything's okay
But I know it's not all right
You're in prisons all day
And hell at night
You keep telling yourself
Everything's fine
Cause you live a life of dreams
You've got to open your eyes
