Karaoke Plays

You write a list of things to do
To occupy the time that you could use
But, in my mind its never final
And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave…

Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home
I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home?

Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background
But there is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

We never did want the dawn to break
Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay
You know I've changed my ways forever
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave…

Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home
I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home?

Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background
But there is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

I came home there were radio waves
I heard voices through the radio waves
I came home there was nowhere to be found
The lights were on, the radio played

I came home, there were radio waves
A children's choir through the radio waves
Every night we've got so much to say
I wanna hear all the things you did today

If someone gets run down
Karaoke plays
Somewhere in the background
But there is an explanation
What makes a grown man cry?
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
