about

It's frustrating watching yourself repeat the same mistakes... It takes so much energy to lift yourself up, it takes only a moment of carelessness to let yourself down.

lyrics

Sometimes I'm too tired to try
To sing the high notes that I
That I can't reach anymore

Sometimes I'm too tired to try
To put on that face that I
That I can't face anymore

But what do I see
In the open sky
But another chance to roll the dice
Oh it calls to me
It's such a pretty lie
It's easier to change my luck than change my life

Sometimes I'm too tired to leave
To turn my back on my history
To stray from the storyline

Sometimes I'm too tired to stay
Pick a direction and drive all day
And leave it all behind

Oh but what do I see
In the open road
But a chance to change the scenery
Oh it seems to me
The further from home I go
The less that each mile means to me

Sometimes I'm too tired to break
Your heart though I know if I wait
I'm only making it worse

Sometimes I'm too tired to face
The fact that I still have not changed
And after this I've never learned

Oh but what do I see
In the open door
But a way out of this hole I've dug myself
Oh it calls to me
Can't you see the allure
A way to make all the same mistakes with someone else

Sometimes I'm too tired to try
To sing the high notes that I
That I can't reach anymore
