Running the race like a mouse in a cage
Getting nowhere, but I'm trying
Forging ahead but I'm stuck in the bed that I made
So I'm lying

But if you keep real close
Yeah, you stay real close
I will reach you
I'm down to a whisper
In a daydream on a hill
Shut down to a whisper
Can you hear me still?

Eager to please, trying to be what they need
But I'm so very tired
I've stopped trying to find any peace in my mind
‘cause it tangles the wires

But if you keep real close
Yeah, you stay real close
I will reach you
I'm down to a whisper
In a daydream on a hill
Shut down to a whisper
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

Still the sound
It dies on my lips
To fade away and to forget

I'm down to a whisper
In a daydream on a hill
Shut down to a whisper
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

Still
