You write a list of things to do
To occupy the time that you could use
But in my mind its never final

And when you sleep I try not to wake you as I leave

Oh, I waited up for you

But you didnt come back home
Oh, I waited up for you
Couldnt you come back home?


Someone gets run down
Karaoke plays

Somewhere in the background
There is no explanation
What makes a grown man cry

Karaoke plays
Someone gets run down


We never did want the dawn to break
Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay
You know Ive changed my ways forever

The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave

Oh, I waited up for you

But you didnt come back home
Oh, I waited up for you
Couldnt you come back home?


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


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 childrens choir through the radio waves
Every night we got so much to say
I wanna hear all the things you did today


And someone gets run down
Karaoke plays

Somewhere in the background
But there is an explanation
What makes a grown man cry

Karaoke plays
And someone gets run down
