Back to Basics

Show me signs, show me billboards
Something to guide my way
I walk with purpose in darkness
Stumble in the light of day

So won't you help me?
Won't you help me out?
I'm starting over here
And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hanging on

And all these one-way conversations
And drinks that don't quench my thirst
I look to you for some answers
Your silence, it hangs like a curse

So won't you help me?
Won't you help me out?
I'm starting over here
And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hanging on
To the business of letting go

What you do, you do it slow
Cause I could read the lines
Read them in your eyes

And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hanging on
To the business of growing cold
To the business of facing facts
To the business of letting go
