Mandarin

(album: Time Insensitive Material - 2009)

I can still remember you once loved me
Forget I never will
What can I say what can I do
To make it go away
Thank you for the kindness
To stop and say hello
Somebody's pouring me a drink
Drunk and all alone

I'm tearing myself into pieces, even tough I'll never fall
I am counting every hour, making sure I'm still around
Wish I could be more like you, then I'd always think things through
When I wake up smiling and everything is just all right

I think I've lived five years these past two months
Stumbled to my feet
Gone to places in this world
Not even knowing where I am
My body takes a rest here
Thanks you for the answers
This stranger pours my drink again
Drunk and all alone

I'm tearing myself into pieces, even tough I'll never fall
I am counting every hour, making sure I'm still around
Wish I could be more like you, then I'd always think things through
When I wake up smiling and everything is just all right to me
It's all right to me
It's all right to me
But you have more to say
But you have more to say

I've walked alone
Destruction's followed me again
Put me in my place
Back against the wall

Well, I'm so sorry
I'm still boring
You've got something that ignores me

I'm tearing myself into pieces, even tough I'll never fall
I am counting every hour, making sure I'm still around
Wish I could be more like you, then I'd always think things through
When I wake up smiling, when I wake up smiling

When I wake up smiling (It's not a dream)
When I wake up smiling (It's not a dream)
When I wake up smiling (It's not a dream)
(It's not a dream)
