You traded all your tears so i could see a happy face
You sat alone and read the writing on the wall
You broke your heart and banged your cool up as you fell from grace
You should've hung the net before you took the fall

The lines are pretty long here, but you'll stand here anyway

(chorus)
Until you see this ain't going over
There's nothing left to show for
Til you see
Time ain't gonna make up for the times you'd never wake up for me

I watched you build a castle on the beach one rainy day
I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide
I think there's something metaphric that i'm trying to say
Open up your soap box and just crawl inside

The lights are on but no one's home
Stand there in the dark

(chorus)
