Boy 03:28
Boy Lift that arm Need to see the bruises Oh, Ain’t you cold and lonely? Baby, I got news Fresh this morning, I'm gonna spill the beans I'm gonna come clean Everything I said Oh, they was lies All the letters you wrote I threw on the fire All the promises I made? With fingers crossed behind my back If you get hit hard enough too many times Things get kind of dark at night Goodnight boy, goodnight boy Goodnight boy, dying words I swear to God, This is the last one I just love ‘em all So much These are the days of wine and roses But just for me Always only me Everything I said Oh, they was lies All the letters you wrote I threw on the fire All the promises I made? With fingers crossed behind my back If you get hit hard enough too many times Things get kind of dark at night Goodnight boy, goodnight boy Goodnight boy, dying words

I'm the ghost Nothing burns like a bridge to you I had never known suffering Til I had to watch your silhouette fade It seems my thoughts are a shrine to you Do you remember when the rains came down And you drank the sweet water from my mouth? Well the rains don’t fall here anymore Torn up pictures of you haunt my bedroom floor They’re afraid of me because I’m the ghost Of a boy who never lived at all Summer came and I slept right through I have never known suffering like the darkness in you Echoes of pain shake my rusted heart Do you remember when the rains came down and you drank the sweet water from my mouth? Well the rains don’t fall here anymore Familiar blood stains my bedroom floor They’re afraid of me because I’m the ghost Of a boy who never lived at all Well the rains don’t fall here anymore Torn up pictures of you haunt my bedroom floor They’re afraid of me because I’m the ghost Of a boy who never lived at all

Parts 02:43
Parts These are the same old lines I fall for every time Ancient and bold Or just tired and old? You decide It’s a shame you spend your days so lonely I hope your colours never run Things you do should never fade There’s teeth in the rocks And parts underneath the stair More tied to strings yeah And hung into my hair It’s like she hates the words But loves to watch me talk Like lyrics are soaked in rain There are colours I will never see It’s a shame you spend your days so lonely I hope your colours never run Things you do should never fade There’s teeth in the rocks And parts underneath the stair More tied to strings yeah And hung into my hair There’s teeth in the rocks

Alone Tonight I was aching at the bar once again Everybody here knows my name If the conversation starts Where do I begin? I would love to walk you home But you confuse me staying around With hanging on We reach an easy truce in the twilight Somewhere between the town and home If the universe is fucked Where do I begin? She would love to see me gone But you confuse me staying around With hanging on Please don’t leave me alone tonight Feeling like a clown when the laughter stops Dancing in the searchlight on the hill Every hour hurts The last one kills Silhouettes do not lie That thing the colour of a dying bruise? That’s the sky Please don’t leave me alone tonight Please don’t leave me alone tonight
