I stumbled across this song as a noob BNL fan listening to 'Old Apartment'. I was happy to learn the band has so much depth. This is simply one of the great underrated (unknown to many) songs ever. Love this band!
Cheer up it could be worse that awesome perfect woman? Well 14 years later and she's the thing around me that are the same but about 4 years ago, after the 10th time she cheated, I left her for an angel but.... same old story I guess the more things change the more they stay the same and I had to go back. The angel I see averyday with her new husband and baby, SHE is the hair shirt I wear! And yes I still wake up strange, wake up weird and her name is the cross I must bear!
I love this song. I actually wrote about it for my English major in university. it is such a deep song. I recommend that everyone listens to the lyrics and decipher this song piece, by piece.
@ryansanche the truth is stranger than fiction you have to be there to be there............. the rest is intyerpretation ................... but if you feel the ecuisit place of being therere then......... :)
*smiles sadly* I love BNL so much...It's songs like this that just...man...leave me at a loss for words really, it can mean so many things to different people, I mean, it's really deep and beautiful. My all time favorite BNL song. :)
Great song by a great band,Im British and not a lot of my mates are into these guys,that was until they heard this track!!!go on the boy's!!the next time these guys play live over here and fingers crossed they do..................Im there
one of the few things that ticked me off about seeing them live(besides the drunk chicks bothering the hell out of me) was that they didn't do this song especialy because I put it on a mixtape I made for my exgirlfriend and she was mad when they didn't play it.
Great song, but why is the tempo so slow? It's a balled yes, but it's unbelievably slow. Great performance though

Completely love this song...it makes me tear up.....
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same.

To yourself, say the name of the only guy or girl you wanna be with 3 times
2. Think of something you wanna accomplish within the next week and say it to your self 6 times
3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to yourself 9 times!!!
4. Think of something that you want to happen
