You can live in the house and I will find 
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
