lyrics

You hid it all, you hid it all
So how was I supposed to know
And if I tried, if I tried
I know there’s nowhere left to go

And I watched every scene from your long-forgotten dreams

And I’m still waiting for the man of the hour
To come back for more and save us from drowning
In a sea of despair that was left on your front door

It all went wrong, it all went wrong
And now your body’s lined in chalk
I miss it all, I miss it all
I miss the way we used to talk

And I watched every scene from your long-forgotten dreams

And I’m still waiting for the man of the hour
To come back for more and save us from drowning
In a sea of despair that was left on your front door

And I’m still waiting for the man of the hour
To come back for more and save us from drowning
In a sea of despair that was left on your front door
