(2x) I'm an open book with pages blowing in the wind I turn around and I lost my place again But I don't care to stay, I wasn't reading anyway And now I've wasted half a day chasing empty pages 'cause a wiser man once told me that one day I'd find my dreams but at the time I didn't think to what that means so I've been searching blind with nothing I expect to find A scattered disillusion mind, and that is right where you and I first met Oh (2x) 'cause I'm a ticking clock with hands that don't know what to hold and I can't come to rest with that it means I'm getting older by the secondhand soon I'm back at noon again waiting for a new beginning, chasing youthful visions and remember when I told you that I loved you well I did but that was then when I was just a lonely kid chalk full of guts to spill and an empty gaping heart to fill you loved me and you always will, but good clocks don't stop moving till they're dead Oh (2x) 'cause I'm a word that's big and long that nobody can spell and once a time I find I knew the meaning well but definitions mean between two hearts collaborating there's no use to keep on waiting when you don't define me how I do Ah (3x)
