Room 429

歌詞

What you don't understand is where everything's leading When all of the signs you see still point to overload As you reach out your hand, a shattered picture's receding Like tail-lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road 'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminder A recollection of faces that will never come to call When you've cut through the mask When you've been through the grinder Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all Up here in room 429 yeah the world ain't so unkind I want to take you to that empty room tonight In the shadow of doubt, in the crush of an instant Standing in the rain outside my door hand on your knife When you reach a brick wall, there is still a decision Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely choose my life Up here in room 429 yeah the world ain't so unkind I want to take that empty room tonight We'll tell the world outside the door That we aint never coming back no more I want to stay in here til we turn off the night Til we turn off the night City breathes so softly, everything is sleeping I am at the window silently watching I can see you standing alone against the winter I can hear hear you asking but the streets they are not giving Don't look to the ocean, restless in its dreaming Dont look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing If living is for learning then dying is forgetting Once we have forgotten the we can go on living In a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindness There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone From within or without there's no way they can find us When they knock at the door the lights are on but we ain't home
