On a Monday I am waiting Tuesday I am fading And By Wednesday I can't sleep Then the phone rings I hear you And the darkness is a clear view Cause you've come to rescue me Fall, with you I fall so fast I can hardly catch my breath I hope it lasts It seems like I can finally Rest my head on something real I like the way that feels It's as if you know me better Than I ever knew myself I love how you can tell All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me I am moody and messy I get restless and it's senseless How you never seem to care When I'm angry, you listen Make me happy, its your mission And you won't stop till I'm there Fall, sometimes I fall so fast When I hit that bottom crash You're all I have It seems like I can finally Rest my head on something real I like the way that feels It's as if you know me better Than I ever knew myself I love how you can tell All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me How do you know? Everything I'm about to say Am I that obvious? And if it's written on my face I hope it never goes away Yea On a Monday I am waiting By Tuesday I am fading Into your arms So I can breathe It seems like I can finally Rest my head on something real I like the way that feels It's as if you know me better Than I ever knew myself I love how you can tell I love how you can tell I love how you can tell All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me Pieces, pieces, pieces of me
