[Verse 1] I lay my head down But the dark won't close The fan makes circles On the cracked paint low Your old shirt's folded On the cedar chest And the whole house listens To my half-slept breath [Pre-Chorus] Tick goes the clock hand Draggin' through the night I count the ceiling I count the lines I count the reasons I can't shut this down And every minute Drives the nail in deeper now [Chorus] Awake again, awake again Time keeps tappin' on the glass Awake again, awake again Night won't let my heart pass Oh, I lay awake While the hours roll on Awake again, awake again Till the break of dawn [Verse 2] The coffee pot's cold By the sink in the gloom A stray truck rattles Past the old front room I try my prayers Then I try to breathe But the pillow feels Like a field of weeds [Pre-Chorus] Tick goes the clock hand Draggin' through the night I count the shadows I count the sighs I count the cracks In the frame and wall And every second Feels a little more small [Chorus] Awake again, awake again Time keeps tappin' on the glass Awake again, awake again Night won't let my heart pass Oh, I lay awake While the hours roll on Awake again, awake again Till the break of dawn [Bridge] Maybe morning's comin' Maybe it'll mend Maybe I just need One hour to spend But the moon stays hangin' Like a slow white stone And I'm still here With the whole dark grown [Chorus] Awake again, awake again Time keeps tappin' on the glass Awake again, awake again Night won't let my heart pass Oh, I lay awake While the hours roll on Awake again, awake again Till the break of dawn
