You were something to do. Now I can’t tear myself away.
Why do you always try to get me to fall for the games you play?
The radio’s broken. The t.v.’s been stolen.
And it’s so silent in heaven tonight.
Who would guess I’d break through and be sleeping in your arms tonight?
I couldn’t make my heart stop. Lying so still next to you.
I couldn’t make the pressure drop. I just kept pounding.
So I’m miles down this road. You think I’m sleeping in your arms tonight.
I couldn’t make my heart stop. Lying so still next to you.
I couldn’t make the pressure drop. I just kept pounding.
So I’m miles down this road. You think I’m sleeping in your arms tonight...
