So Far Away (Dire Straits Cover)

Set Free

I had a bad dream again
Woke up in the night in a cold sweat
I know that it's just pretend
Even though it gets caught under my skin
Lying here in wait
For the sun to come
And shine on through my window

I had that bad dream again
Don't leave me alone inside my head
I still can see it happenin'
Twist and turn the covers off the bed
Lying here in wait
For the sun to come
And shine on through my window



Bad Dream

Everybody's got something to say
About somebody else, well
They don't hear the hurtful words
We're getting older, it's getting worse

What they have to say
Is bullshit anyway
Can't we see past mistakes that were made?

Tune it all out, deafen the dumb
Before it turns you upside down, and around
Cause all this talk don't mean a thing
You never know what's hiding

What they have to say
Is bullshit anyway
Can't we see past mistakes that were made?
But there ain't no goin' back
Once you've chose your path
We all have our skeletons, I'd say

Skeletons

Awake in the day
Asleep at the eyes
Lost and lonely again, to my surprise
Feelin' the break 
Splittin' in two
Not entirely sure just what to do

Goin' away
Leavin' the nest
Still sorting the photos inside my head
Wondering when
Lights power down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

I hope that I can feel the same
Will it always hurt this way?
Creases in my face are falling down
Wear a smile on the surface
Just the make-up for a clown

Sometimes I find no fight left inside of me
So I drown, I drown my days away
Sinking down, sinking down to the bottom of the sea
Watch the color in my eyes decay
Oh, the fall is too great this time
Missing pieces here and there
We only get one set of stitches
I've gone broke beyond repair

I hope that I can feel the same
Will it always hurt this way?
Creases in my face are falling down
Wear a smile on the surface
Just the make-up for a clown
