Midnight hair straddles porcelain skin
I will whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back
and trembling hands trace outlines of absence [scream]
I`ll whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back.
Accidents, and kilometers, sketch the boy`s face, lines drawn by tears
Sketch the girls [2x]
Phone calls overheard by passers by, passing by
Seems less distant than the tremble in your voice
Well I`m as distant as this freeway,
I should not be behind this wheel
[Chorus]
I assure you I`ll be home soon standing on the front lawn
Holding onto phone lines
I assure you I`ll be home soon standing on the front lawn
Holding onto phone lines
[Background]
You just take, and you break and you take and you break it
[Scream]
I am by your side
Just hold me in your arms
I am by your side
Just hold me in your arms
I`m by your side
Dying in your arms
I am by your side
Dying in your arms
So hold me and I`ll be home unless you get the best of me
So hold me and I`ll be home unless you get the best of me
I can hear your voice quiet and slow through the crack of a window
but somewhere between a discord and Michigan, my heart was lost.
it was just an accident. could this really be any harder?
and a boy, who`s a soul survivor and he`s whispering in your ear,
that he`ll be home soon. but he never really made it that far
never made it that far
and I`ll whisper as your words scream, why, why`d i warn you.
[Chorus x2]
