lyrics

if you should hang your hopes upon the stars
be careful lest they fall
‘cause this old world is full of ancient scars
even you can’t find them all

Chorus
i’ve got voices crawling ‘round my head
i’ve got skeletons lying in my bed, under the sheets
they won’t leave me

if you should build yourself a castle, don’t build it on the sand
‘cause this old ocean tends to rock the boat, before it runs into the land

now that you know, where can i go? where can i run to?
all that this lonely man wants is to see a smile light up your face
and know that you’ll stay awhile

you say there’s beauty in this madness, something i can’t really see
and all that i can know of gladness, is if you say you’ll still smile at me
