Lyrics
How deeply are you sleeping
Or are you still awake?
A good friend told me
You've been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling
Oh, be careful what it takes
From what I've seen so far
The good ones always seem to break
And I was screaming at my father
And you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger
From way across the sea
And I was kissing strangers
I was causing such a scene
Oh, the heart, it hides such unimaginable things
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
And I can tell that I'm in trouble
When that music starts to play
In a city without seasons
It keeps raining in L.A.
I feel like I'm about to fall
The room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens
But I cannot walk away
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the
Thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In a sky full of song
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (fire)
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (fire)
