Shady graves and grey decay
Another year, another day
Welcome to a different kind of voices in your head
Cut the cord and call a car
We've all forgotten who we are
Midnight strikes and all I want is resting in your bed
Are you holding out for me?
Are you lost out in the sea?
Cos I'm waiting now, on the edge of town while you sleep
New Year's Day, the day you knew
That I was still hung up on you
Crossed the bridges, rolled the dice and fell into your arms
And I'll never know, that gaze we shared;
If you were blind or unprepared
Midnight strikes and God, it's just another false alarm
Are you holding out for him?
Did he teach you how to swim?
'Cos I'm waiting now on the edge of town
While I watch you drown in the sea
