Karaoke Plays

You write a list of things to do

To occupy the time that you could use

But in my mind it's 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

Oh, I waited up for you

Couldn't you come back home?

If 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

Oh, I waited up for you

Couldn't you come back home?

If 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, you were nowhere to be found

The lights were on and 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
