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
Until 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 metaphoric that I'm trying to say
Open up your soapbox and just crawl inside
The lights are on but no one's home
Stand there in the dark
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
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
Until 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 metaphoric that I'm trying to say
Open up your soapbox and just crawl inside
The lights are on but no one's home
Stand there in the dark
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
