I'll keep the timing of all you said
Set it back in your head
Creep slowly around like the living dead
I may never be the same again
We're safe but only when the lights are on
Soon enough there's something wrong
The timing of all you said
How do I get it out of my head
I'm placing bets
I'm writing checks
To keep on living
Keep on living, living
I'm counting heads
Trying hard to forget
The ones that I'm missing
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
Wet blanket words you've given me
Never ever will they set me free
I tucked myself in patiently
Covered my mirrors so I couldn't see
You wake me up when you're on time
I've been sleeping all my life
My destiny in your bed
How do I get it out of my head
And when the sun goes down I wonder
Where your head hits the pillow
It's like hearing lightening, seeing thunder
I'm placing bets
I'm writing checks
To keep on living
Keep on living, living, living
I'm counting heads
Trying hard to forget
The ones that I'm missing
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
How do I get it out of my head
There was a time when I thought that I had lost my faith
It took a while but I realized it was misplaced
And it's a style to pretend like you are far from grace
To run a mile
Just to find you were in the right place
I'm placing bets
I'm writing checks
To keep on living
Keep on living, living, living
I'm counting heads
Trying hard to forget
The ones that I'm missing
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
I'm placing bets
I'm writing checks
To keep on living
Keep on living, living, living
I'm counting heads
Trying hard to forget
The ones that I'm missing
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
I'm placing bets
