You say, “Baby, turn the light out” But I can see there’s something crying in your smile now You used to be the glitter in the dirt And now you say it’s just you feel a little dusty
Why didn’t anybody tell you that it ain’t easy Life don’t imitate reality TV I can see you tugging on a wishbone Angling an outcome Bones will only break their words
But you don’t know that it beats my heart To black and blue all over When you cry it burns Like papercuts and iodine
When you were here I couldn’t find the words To say I’ll be your lullaby singer I won’t let you down I promise I’ll try and try and Lullaby, lullaby
Panic is a shotgun I don’t know if I can get you out of this one But you can call me up at twenty after midnight I’ll stay on the line to talk you down and tuck you in And I’m eyes wide open brighter than the candles On a cake you wasted wishes on when you were okay
When you were here I couldn’t find the words To say I’ll be your lullaby singer I won’t let you down I promise I’ll try and try and Lullaby, lullaby Lullaby, lullaby
Baby, turn the light out There’s something crying in your smile now You used to be the glitter in the dirt And now you say it’s just you feel a little dusty
But when you were here I couldn’t find the words To say I’ll be your lullaby singer I won’t let you down I promise I’ll try and try and Lullaby, lullaby
When you were here I couldn’t find the words To say I’ll be your lullaby singer I won’t let you down I promise I’ll try Lullaby, lullaby Lullaby, lullaby
Baby, turn the light out Baby, turn the light out Baby, turn the light out You say, “Baby, turn the light out”
