How long, how long have you been asleep, dear?
I will search for answers that are lost
I can't change the way you feel at all

I can't wait, wait for you forever
My millionth dream gets sucked into your eyes
You think that I have been okay, I'm not fine

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light
And I won't last

Why do you want to keep me in a cold room?
Why do you close your eyes to look at me?
Dreams can't change the girl you see at all

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light
And I won't last

Maybe there is some comfort in the mystery
Close encounters, none of them are you
I can't make myself look sane, it's true

So I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll burn so bright I'll run out of light, oh watch me
I'll go talk to strangers
And I will love too fast
And I'll love all wrong and I'm not that strong
And I won't last
