Well I was stuck in a television watching my living room
And there I saw you
And there I felt love
And I’ll romanticize the slightest glimpse towards the television screen
You make my black-and-white TV look like the sunset in a dream
But now the clock comes down to
Three in the morning
I’ll be singing you to sleep
Just like my mother did for me
Now don’t you cry
The only ghosts are motor homes passed under the front porch
And if you’re bored
We can throw stones and wait for the bones to rattle us awake all night
And if you aim just right you might find me
Oh it don’t take much to teach a boy how to know his place
Cause there’s no space to have his own
We stand around and wait for somebody to take us down
Well if there’s space then put me down
Cause I’ll admit that I’m no savior
It’s four in the morning and I think this place is haunted
Well at least I sleep alone
But I never really felt too much at home
Good god I never really thought that I was ever much of a prophet
Well where was the faith I wanted
I don’t know
Cause I just don’t
And if the spring’s bringing new things
What the fuck did I wake up in the middle of winter for
I’m not too sure
The sun rises early when you spend the whole night waiting
For some changing shadows on the wall
And if I had a reason I would wake you up just so I could tell you
Believe me it’s a lie
Cause I’ve been fooled a thousand times
I waited all night just to stop the sun from shining
Who knew a horizon could break you down
And I guess I always thought this type of light it would be blinding
But maybe we’ve been trying for too long
