Lyrics
Verse 1: Lying awake in bed, thoughts swirling ‘round my head
Searching for somethin’ to say, to sing
Tied to the ground, restrained, chains impounding my brain
Fighting myself to break free, to be me
Chorus: I’m writing a song I can’t find words to
Thinking of things I can’t describe
Not feeling anything inspiring
I don’t even feel alive
I’m singing a song that has no subject
Hitting on keys that make no sound
Waiting for some kind of inspiration
To finally come around
Verse 2: Nothing to do today, guess I just have to wait
For some mind-blowing act to appear
Heart wrenching sobs are gone and there’s a lack of great fun
Now there’s nothing but emptiness here
Chorus: I’m writing a song I can’t find words to
Thinking of things I can’t describe
Not feeling anything inspiring
I don’t even feel alive
I’m singing a song that has no subject
Hitting on keys that make no sound
Waiting for some kind of inspiration
To finally come around
Bridge: I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike me
Counting on storm clouds to show me the way
Or maybe some sunlight to brighten that dull sky
‘Cause all that’s left today is
Half Chorus: Writing a song I can’t find words to
Thinking of things I can’t describe
Not feeling anything inspiring
I don’t even feel alive
Ohs: Oh-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo
Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh-oh
Chorus: I’m writing a song I can’t find words to
Thinking of things I can’t describe
Not feeling anything inspiring
I don’t even feel alive
I’m singing a song that has no subject
Hitting on keys that make no sound
Waiting for some kind of inspiration
To finally come around
Outro: Around, around, around
Around, around, around
To finally, finally, finally
To finally, finally, finally come around
