Wake Up Call (The Hard Goodbye)

Wake Up Call (The Hard Goodbye)

This is where the ending finds its first steps
This is where the water skirts the sky
This is where the best thing we have going
Is simply saying 'goodbye'

I used to want to know what I wanted
I used to want to have it all
I found the tears were so cliched
Like the names I'd written on the wall

One of these days I'm gonna wake up
To the rich life I've planted in this garden of lies
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna wake right up
But give me five more minutes, just five more minutes

We had a good thing going and going and going
Until the feeling went its separate way
Now I find I'm dragging myself to your front door
Hoping you'll find another one of these days

One of these days I'm gonna wake up
To the rich life I've planted in this garden of lies
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna wake right up
But give me five more minutes, just five more minutes

We're all trying to replace what we've lost
Every day rebuilding our precious hearts of sand
But you're not even close to what I once lost
And I can't explain what you won't understand

Saying goodbye is never easy
So I'll say the hard goodnight
One foot forward and one left behind
You and me is never gonna be right

One of these days I'm gonna wake up
To the rich life I've planted in this garden of lies
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna wake right up
But give me five more minutes, just five more minutes
