Everybody's hanging out downtown
Looking for something real
Yeah, everybody's gathered round in a crowd
Tell me, what is the deal?
All the pretty people dressing up
Putting on many layers
There's too many of us down on our knees
Saying too many prayers

Somebody's perfect song is in the room playing
I'm not gonna let it keep me from saying what needs saying
There are no new melodies left to sing to you, thank god
Because I'm tired of trying to sing something new
To sing to you

Well, here I am right now looking for something real
Yeah, I'm just reaching out
Tell me, what's the deal?
I am just reaching out trying to strip away the layers
I guess I'll get back down on my knees
And say one last prayer
