Cradlesong

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
If we can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Ah, honey, we'll be okay

[Chorus]
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you this cradlesong
All night long

[Verse 2]
Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place where they belong
Like a favorite song
I don't want to be a faded memory
I don't want to be the ghost that you can't shake
No, I want to be the real thing

[Chorus]
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you this cradlesong
All night long, yeah all night long
Yeah, all night long
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
No one said we were victims, honey
No one said we had to keep the things we get
And there ain't no regrets
And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that desperate yet, oh no
Ain't nothing like the real thing

[Chorus]
The world can be so cruel
Yeah, well let me sing for you this cradlesong
All night long

[Chorus]
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you this cradlesong
All night long
This cradlesong
This cradlesong
Yeah, all night long
Sing it all night long, yeah
Yeah, all night long
Sing it all night long, yeah yeah
All night long, ooh
