Picking up the pieces trying to make it all fit
Wrote myself a story just to read and be convinced
I’m filling in the blanks and I’m checking off the list
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away
Picking up the pieces trying to put it back together
Counted by the days, but I counted on forever
Radio silence is a face that screams, “never”
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away

All the words that I wanna say
Ricochet around off the sides of my brain

Running out of space for all the rest of my thoughts
Thinking about the things I gotta try to get across
Really thought I had it all and then I got lost
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away
Running out of time to keep a fleeting hope alive
Clinging to and coping with these fantasies and lies
Improvising memories and saying both our lines
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away

Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn’t you know I lost my way
All the words that I wanna say
Ricochet around off the sides of my brain

Talking to the future girl, “Why can’t you be like that?”
Trying to find a better person but I just can’t
Once you get the best the rest is bound to feel flat
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away
Talking to the future you, “But I don’t understand
I did the things you asked me to and grew into a man”
The things I can’t control keep driving me mad
“Here I am,” I cried in vain, can’t let it fade away

Feeling like I’m just a little too late
Why you? Why now? Why can’t it change?
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn’t you know I lost my way
All the words that I wanna say
Ricochet around off the sides of my brain
