Reaching Out Lyrics - Altered Beast - 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
