Reaching Out

Matthew Sweet

You've counted every star

That you could imagine

Broken when everyone took you for a fool

It gave you a reason

To find something strong enough to feel



You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out



Beaten by a child

You can't even know when

Now you can never be free from what was done

You can't even hate them

You'll find something big enough to steal

You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out



And if I can't know you

All my dreams are through

Every waking hour is filled with lead

I'm dead



I've counted every star

That you could imagine

Broken when everyone took me for a fool

It gave me a reason

To find something strong enough to feel



You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out (reaching out)

You're reaching out



And if I can't know you

All my dreams are through

Every waking hour is filled with lead

I'm dead



I'm dead
