Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around, I would tonight
[Verse 2]
These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart start beating
Leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?
[PreChorus]
Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
[Chorus]
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
[Verse 3]
August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight
[Verse 4]
You never know what temporal days may bring
Laugh, love, live free, and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the Lord
[PreChorus]
Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
[Chorus]
I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
[Bridge]
Friends
[Chorus]
I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
[Outro]
I thought you said forever
Over and over
These thoughts run through my head
