Open your book
I'm waiting for you to explain
If all my friends should disappear
I'll call you upon dark days
Love for the tired kid
Passed out before the refrain
If all my friends should disappear
I'll call you upon dark days
I, I've been dreaming up quiet songs
About coming back from the dead
You'd think I would slip one in
And mean what I said
But I always forget
I, I've been dreaming up quiet songs
About coming back from the dead
You'd think I would slip one in
But I always forget
From the blue bird, light on your shoulder
To the exit lines down your face
If all my friends should disappear
I'll call you upon dark days
In the backseat you're singing awkward
Out the window and right into space
If all my friends should disappear
I'll call you upon dark days
I, I've been dreaming up quiet songs
About coming back from the dead
You'd think I would slip one in
And mean what I said
But I always forget
I, I've been dreaming up quiet songs
About coming back from the dead
You'd think I would slip one in
And mean what I said
But I always forget
I always forget
Open your book
I'm waiting for you to explain
If all my friends should disappear
I'll call you upon dark days
When I'm frightened
When I'm left out too long in the rain
If all my friends should disappear
And fall along the void of years
From miles away
I'll need you on those dark days
In the end I'm just singing
To a wide open ceiling
Could somebody pick me up?
I need a use
By the end I'm just singing (giving a mouthful)
To a wide open ceiling (room with enough)
Could somebody pick me up? (hey man, come on and open up)
I need a use (you're with friends)
Take it along (giving a mouthful)
We're out here and we're living (room for enough)
Start raising the dead (hey man, come on and open up)
(If you can)
Don't take it alone
We're out here and we're living
Start raising the dead
Don't take it alone
