INTRO x2 x2 verse 1 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 Pre-Chorus 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? Chorus 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 x2 x2 verse 2 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 Pre-Chorus 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? Chorus 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 BRIDGE x2 x2 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 want to hear all the things you did today Chorus 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 OUTRO
