There's a weakness in the window, place my footprints in a dark room.nThere's lonely voices like a scarecrow in the hallway like a lost ghost.nIn the bedroom I see a shadow from the moon with light from a candle.nOn a bed frame lies a girl, her reflection in the mirror.nnYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanI like your eyes wide.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanI'm knocking at your backdoor.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanIt hurts like a knife fight.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanBe careful what you ask for.nnI do this from time to time where I can never wake from a bad dream.nI do this from time to time where I can never say the things I mean.nI do this from time to time where I like to watch you as you sleep.nI do this from time to time where I like to think of you and me.nnIt's a dark night on the west coast, then a soft breeze as the sun rose.nThen the phone rang like a gunshot, like a siren on the beach rock.nThere's a message at the river, a certain package here to deliver.nWhen the day breaks, after nightfall, I will be there you know I will.nnYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanI like your eyes wide.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanI'm knocking at your backdoor.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanNervous like a knife fight.nYadada dadada dadada dadala dadanBe careful what you ask for.nnI do this from time to time where I can never wake from a bad dream.nI do this from time to time where I can never say the things I mean.nI do this from time to time where I like to watch you as you sleep.nI do this from time to time where I like to think of you and me.nnI'm feeling the shape and the sound of my heartbeat, can't let go.nDo you know, I'm feeling the pain of my first love, I gotta go, can't let go.nn[Repeat til out] nI do this from time to time where I can never wake from a bad dream.nI do this from time to time where I can never say the things I mean.nI do this from time to time where I like to watch you as you sleep.nI do this from time to time where I like to think of you and me.n(Time to time)
