Now I think I know why
You sounded so strange on the telephone
Well, it's hard when you discover
What keeps you going, keeps you all alone
Our dream's so real
You thought the smoke might never clear
And you hide it all behind
Endless cigarettes and tears
Somebody waits for the time
I know it never comes
You get yourself so high
Then you come down feeling blue
One day you'll wake up
And realize you've had enough
The thousand shining moments
Waiting just to happen to you, to you, to you
Wait until you're stronger
There's no sense starting when you're down so low
Well, it takes the heart a little longer
To see the point in finally letting go
You lose your touch
Out there standing in the rain
When it's all too much
You feel like slipping down again
Somebody waits for the time
I know it never comes
You get yourself so high
Then you come down feeling blue
One day you'll wake up
And realize you've had enough
There's a thousand shining moments
Waiting just to happen to you, oh, to you, to you
Somebody waits for the time
I know it never comes
You get yourself so high
Then you come down feeling blue
One day you'll wake up
And realize you've had enough
There's a thousand shining moments
I hope someday they happen to you, oh, to you, oh, to you
