I'd be hanging on their words
like they almost meant a thing
in the only lullaby I heard,
their sirens blaring, singing me to sleep
holding my loved one tight
One the softness of her laugh
I could almost make my bed
but the racket of her absence joined
the sirens blaring ringing in my head
holding nothing tight
holding nothing tight
with my eyes so wide
In a house without a back door
I was looking for a fire escape
And I've been ripping up the floorboards
Just trying to get away
From this sleeplessness
She's be hanging on my words
like I almost meant a thing
and I'd give anything not to let her down
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
holding her so tight
holding her so tight
but me eyes are wide
'Cause my mind just can't stop moving
And I think I know why
It's sad
'Cause I'm a sucker for a kind word
And I'll just hurt until I find one
And I'll just hurt until I find one
I've been trying all the windows
I've been running up the staircase
In a house without a back door
