Richard Butler - Maybe Someday Lyrics

half the time i don't know if i'm awake or i'm asleep
half the time i don't even care
spend a lifetime looking for the real thing
where's the real thing gone
sulking silent sitting in a corner
tell them i'm not there
like a dream i'm never there for no one
leave a number when you hear the tone
half the time you'll see me staring at the sky
and i don't know why this dream is running dry
maybe someday i'll tear it all down
maybe someday i'll tear it all down
so where are we now i don't know where
and where do we stand
we don't wake up one day when it's all been said
we end up as dust and dirt again
they're throwing stones on my Street
here comes a working week to wear us down
on empty ground
put up a factory or a supermarket when the day is done
they take us all back home
the ghost of promises it lingers on our breath
and all we leave are secrets we can't keep
we don't leave anything or nothing permanent
well never mind all we don't have is time
summer's gone it oniy stayed a minute
all the rainbows ran
all applaud the lions of september
when the nights get long
maybe someday
maybe someday
