There's a weakness at the window 

Place my footprints in the dark room 

There's lonely voices like a scarecrow 

In the hallway like a lost ghost 

In the bedroom I see a shadow 

From the moon with light from a candle 

On a bed frame lies a girl 

Her reflection in the mirror 


Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

I like your eyes wide 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

I've been knocking at your backdoor 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

Nervous like a knife fight 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

Be careful what you ask for 


I do this from time to time 

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to think of you with me 


It's a dark night on the West Coast 

Then a soft breeze as the sun rose 

Then the phone rang like a gunshot 

Like a siren on the beach rock 

There's a message at the river 

A certain package here to the deliver 

When the day breaks after nightfall 

I will be there, you know I will 


Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

I like your eyes wide 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

I've been knocking at your backdoor 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

Nervous like a knife fight 

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada 

Be careful what you ask for 


I do this from time to time 

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time) 


I can hear you breathe, 

I'm feeling the shake 

And the sound of my heartbeat 

Can't let go... 

Do you know? 

I'm feeling the pain 

Of my first love 

I let it go... 

Can't let go 


I do this from time to time 

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to taste you as you bleed (from time to time) 


I do this from time to time 

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) 

I do this from time to time 

Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)
