lullaby's fill your room, and i will be singing singing to only you dont forget ill hold your head watch the night sky fading red but as you sleep, and no one is listening i will lift you off your feet, ill keep you from sinking don't you wake up yet, cause soon ill be leaving you soon ill be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me in the car, the radio leaves me searching for your star a constellation of frustration driving hard singing my thoughts back to me, and watching heartache on TV but as you sleep, and no one is listening i will lift you off your feet, i'll keep you from sinking don't you wake up yet, cause soon i'll be leaving you, soon i'll be leaving you but you won't be leaving me don't forget i'll hold your head, watch the night sky fading red but as you sleep, and no one is listening i will lift you off your feet, i'll keep you from sinking don't you wake up yet, cause soon i'll be leaving you soon i'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me "Space" Home, is this the quiet place where you should be alone? Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own? I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown Oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone Hey, give me space so I can breathe Give me space so I can sleep Give me space so you can drown in this with me In this place The lonely escapade in outer space There's no antidote for irony you say that you have, when you know that you don't and you say, that you can, when you know that you won't Hey, give me space so I can breathe Give me space so I can sleep Give me space so you can drown in this with me Hey, give me space but I can't breathe Give me space but I can't sleep Give me just one inch I swear that's all I'll need These padded walls and TV screens Sometimes they make me want to scream Hey, give me space so I can breathe Give me space so I can sleep Give me space so you can drown in this with me Hey, give me space but I can't breathe Give me space but I can't sleep Give me just one inch I swear that's all I'll need "Down" Let's get drunk You can drive us to the harbor Wish upon a star but Do you know what stars are? Balls of fire, burning up the black space Falling from the landscape Exploding in the face of God Let's get crazy, Talk about our big plans Places that you're going Places that I haven't been Build my walls up Concrete castle Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah Yeah Yeah I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness Look what you've found, I've fallen down Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now Try to get some rest now, sleeps not coming easy for a while, child Child, yeah I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness Look what you've found, I've fallen down Down, down Down, down I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness
