Its Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

I've been up at this all night long

I've been drowning in my sleep

I've prayed for your safe place

And it's time for us to leave



Time is running on empty and the gas is running out

I've decided that tonight is the night

That I set love aside

Full speed ahdead this seems to be the place

I've seen this once before

Planned perfection sought in my dreams

Hoping this would take you home



My knuckles have turned to white 

There's no turning back tonight

So kiss me one last time



Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow

The people will all gather

To remember such a day where the flames grew as high

As trees

And the world stopped for you and me



My knuckles have turned white

There's no turning back tonight

So hold on tight

Kiss me one last time

Shut your eyes



I will now bring new meaning to the word alone

Endless nights of dreaming of life

And the days we should have spent here



Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep



I thought we'd be there by now

I thought it would be so much quicker than this



Pain has never been so brilliant 

I made sure you were buckled in

Now you can walk hand in hand with him
