| Paper Mâché houses
|
| Build them up with nothing else
|
| Tell me what the sound is
|
| Telephone keeps ringing out
|
| Heard them in the next room
|
| I don’t know whose side was wrong
|
| Really hope it stops soon
|
| Or someone turn the TV on
|
| Talking to your best friend
|
| Never knew your middle name
|
| Stay until the show ends
|
| Or at least until the latest train
|
| Held the bottle like a baby
|
| Protect it 'til we get back home
|
| Drink up on the rooftops
|
| And wonder where the city’s gone
|
| Wake up, wake up, wake up
|
| Why don’t you take a little time to breathe it in?
|
| Don’t try to tame the sun
|
| But you could try to feel it on your skin
|
| I could’ve let the whole world just hold me back
|
| I’m steady making choices from the life I had
|
| Can we just talk about it?
|
| I know that we could work this out
|
| Talk around in circles
|
| Speak until we both get tired
|
| Look up at the streetlights
|
| And wonder how the wold’s wired
|
| Pressure makes me sleepy
|
| Avoid the stuff at every cost
|
| Wind up at the same spot
|
| And relish in the time we lost
|
| Wake up, wake up, wake up
|
| Why don’t don’t you take a little time to breathe it in?
|
| Don’t try to tame the sun
|
| But you could try to feel it on your skin
|
| I could’ve let the whole world just hold me back
|
| I’m steady making choices from the life I had
|
| Can we just talk about it?
|
| I know that we could work this out
|
| Wake up, wake up, wake up
|
| Why don’t don’t you take a little time to breathe it in?
|
| Don’t try to tame the sun
|
| But you could try to feel it on your skin
|
| I could’ve let the whole world just hold me back
|
| I’m steady making choices from the life I had
|
| Can we just talk about it?
|
| I know that we could work this out
|
| In paper Mâché houses
|
| Build them up with nothing else
|
| Tell me what the sound is
|
| Telephone keeps ringing out |
