You write a list of things to do
To occupy the time that you could use
But, in my mind it's never final
And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave…

Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home
I waited up for you. Couldn’t you come back home?

Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background,
But there is no explanation.
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

We never did want the dawn to break
Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay
You know I've changed my ways forever
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave…

I came home there were radio waves
The lights were on, there were radio waves.
I heard voices through the radio waves
I came home there was no-one to be found.
