::Verse 1::
Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how youre doing
Its been a long time since we spoke
Last time I was there you had music in the air
We listened till the stereo broke
I told you I believed you its not really true
I only want to see you come alive
Winters come and gone and theres flowers on the lawn
I miss you coming up my drive
::Pre-Chorus::
Youd tell me different if I ever lost my way
Youd tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Youd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
And youd always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
If you want to know whats on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whats on my mind
Come on up and see me Ive been waiting for you all this time
::Interlude::
::Verse 2::
Up here the days last forever it seems
The sunlight caresses your face
You can hear the dogs howling at night
Youll think youre in the holiest place
Ive always played it careful now maybe I was wrong
I think of you as fragile and young
I have seen the darkness come over your face
Felt the poison of your tongue
::Pre-Chorus::
Youd tell me different if I ever lost my way
Youd tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay
Youd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could
And youd always be careful and kind
::Chorus::
If you want to know whats on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whats on my mind
Come on up and see me Ive been waiting for you all this time
::Solo::
::Verse 3::
Lately theres something disturbing my sleep
I dream about you almost every night
Youre alone in your place and theres a look on your face
I dont know if it is anger or fright
All that I can tell you is Im waiting to hear
You know that I am faithful to a flaw
When you change your mind and you step outside
Hope Ill be the one you call
::Chorus::
If you want to know whats on my mind
Let me be some help to you this time
If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain
Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain
If you want to know whats on my mind
Look over your shoulder I wont be far behind
Come on up and see me on the banks of the 49
::Outro::
