In the morning I'll be alone
It doesn't matter where I go
In the back of a bus in the middle of a laugh
Waiting for the next show
Like a lost cardboard kid,
Stuck in the background
From the bugs in the ground
To the stars in the sky
I need the sound
Of an old friend
Why don't you sing to me?
Like a burned out car oooh
Like a broke guitar taking a solo
I'm gonna hold out that old heart
Everybody needs a jump start
In a world on repeat
Everyone asleep at the wheel
The boy in the bubble looking for trouble
Who forgot to feel
And there's a sprak between
The day and the night
The kid in the play ground that's been let down
I need the sound
Of an old friend,
Why don't you sing to me?
Like a burned out car oooh
Like a broke guitar taking a solo
I'm gonna hold out that old heart
Everybody needs a jump start
