In the dark of the night By the sapphire I gave a nod to a girl And she looked like she was looking at a spectre And she kind of smiled and turned
I knew the back of your hand like the back of my hand We used to go like red and black And it's so strange to feel this distance where there was once love
I’m alive like the sound of the wrecking crew I’m alone with the lights of the avenue I don’t know if I know where I’m going to Tomorrow’s a new day That’s such a cliché
There’s a kid, bangs a drum, on the corner And I’m walking to the time This persistent, solitary rhythm It’s an urban lullaby
I knew the back of your hand like the back of my hand We used to go like red and black And it's so strange to feel this distance where there was once love
I’m alive like the sound of the wrecking crew I’m alone with the lights of the avenue I don’t know if I know where I’m going to Tomorrow’s a new day That’s such a cliché
Looking back, all along here There’s nothing wrong here I still get a little bit crazy sometimes Had I dream, when I woke up You taught me to show up I guess sometimes you’ve got to be cruel to be kind
And it’s so strange to feel this distance where there was once love
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I’m alive like the sound of the wrecking crew I’m alone with the lights of the avenue I don’t know if I know where I’m going to Tomorrow’s a new day That’s such a cliché That’s such a cliché
