a little place around the corner
trouble comes from the strangest quarters
it snuck up on us now without a warning

Every night I hang my head outside into the stars
it's a wonder I can even talk at all

I walk by kids that hang on corners tripping out
afraid of what they'll miss
late at night I hear other voices crying out
I never wanted this

I played you all my favourite songs
catch you when you fall
you look at me saying that's not it at all

Oh my I can't help wondering why I blew it again
I let you down
I watched your tears come splashing all around
all my life I feel like I've been blind
but the moments that shine
are so hard to find

Hey look those northern lights are dancing
come on out and we'll sit here on the lawn
we won't talk we'll only listen
maybe we can stop what's going on

Every night we look out on what's left of all our dreams
it's a wonder we still can talk at all

Oh my I can't help wondering why I blew it again
I let you down
I watched your tears come splashing on the ground
all my life I feel like I've been blind
but the moments that shine
are so hard to find
