[Intro Chorus] Like a compass spinning blind, There’s a shadow in my head, Telling me I left behind Every word I should have said. In this quiet house I built, Where the clock just ticks away, There’s a dream I cannot kill, Calling from another day. [Verse] Running fast to stay in place, Counting steps along the wire. I don't recognize the face In the glass behind the fire. Got the comfort, got the pay, Still the picture feels untrue. Throwing half my life away Just to prove what I can do. [Pre-Chorus] Buy this, sell that, take another turn, Yeah, it’s all the same old game. Watch the bridge behind you burn, While they tell you it’s a shame. [Chorus] Like a compass spinning blind, There’s a shadow in my head, Telling me I left behind Every word I should have said. In this quiet house I built, Where the clock just ticks away, There’s a dream I cannot kill, Calling from another day. [Bridge] Woke up cold at three A.M., Saw the shoreline in the rain. Looking for the boy I was Before I learned to hide the pain. I had to call his name out loud, I had to ask, I had to see— Is there a way back through the crowd, Is there a piece of home in me? [Chorus] Like a compass spinning blind, There’s a shadow in my head, Telling me I left behind Every word I should have said. In this quiet house I built, Where the clock just ticks away, There’s a dream I cannot kill, Calling from another day. Calling from another day... [End]
