There′s a weakness in the window
Place my footprints in the dark room
There′s lonely voices like a scarecrow
In the hallway like a lost ghost
In the bedroom I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed-frame lies a girl
Her reflection in the mirror

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I′ve been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me

It′s a dark night on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze as the sun rose
Then the phone rang like a gunshot
Like a siren on the beach rock
There′s a message at the river
A certain package here to the deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I like your eyes wide
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
I′ve been knocking at your backdoor
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Nervous like a knife fight
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)

I can hear you breathe,
I′m feeling the shake
And the sound of my heartbeat
Can′t let go...
Do you know
I′m feeling the pain
Of my first love?
I won′t let it go...
Can′t let go

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I want to taste you as you breathe (from time to time)

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)
