Sleeping With a Friend - Neon Trees

Father, father, tell me where have you been? It's been hell not having you here I've been missing you so bad And you don't seem to care When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? Do you even miss us? Your bottle's your mistress I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? I will try to understand (Father, father, father) Father, father, tell me where are you now? It's been hell not having you The last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town With no note telling where When I go to sleep at night, you're not there When I go to sleep at night, do you care? I need to know, I need to know Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Spent seven years wishing that you'd drop a line But I carry the thought along with you in my mind But is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Family! Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake? 'Cause I'm trying to deal with the pain I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this, is this how it ends? Why are you running away? Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family? Is this what you call a family

Even if you were a million miles away I can still feel you in my bed Near me, touch me, feel me And even at the bottom of the sea I could still hear inside my head Telling me, touch me, feel me And all the time, you were telling me lies So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Have you ever try sleeping with a broken heart? Well you could try sleeping in my bed Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you You wore the crown, you made my body feel heaven bound Why don't you hold me, need me I thought you told me, you'd never leave me Looking in the sky I could see your face Then I knew right where I fit in Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love with you Right till the end So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Anybody could've told you right From the start it's 'bout to fall apart So rather than hold on to a broken dream I'll just hold on to love And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight I'll make it without you tonight So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Oh Lord

Caught in a wildfire Choking on the flames Of a strange pyre The ashes of a dream Feed the fantasy Locked on the inside Tangled up in chains And the crazy lies Terrified and lame In silence we escape Oh, kiss my heart awake We're so far away I'm sleeping with a stranger Lonely and tongue-tied, All is out of place And the words you hide Are written on your face I'm lifting up the lace Oh, kiss my heart awake We're so far away I'm sleeping with a stranger Come back to me Stop whispering Have we fallen far too deep? Oh, kiss my heart awake We're so far away I'm sleeping with a stranger Oh, kiss my heart awake We're so far away I'm sleeping with a stranger

Hello, hello My baby wants to be a seagull Swimming in the ocean like before And then she tells me How she used to be a shadow Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul She shows me how to reach The great Moroccan skyline And my mind is open like a door And then she tells me That she's never been to China Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No! No! No one knows me so No! No! No one... If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No one really knows me, so This is only between us

I took an air rifle Shot a magpie to the ground And it died without a sound Your skin's so pale Against the fallen autumn leaves No-one saw us but the trees Yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving I carved your name With a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted Unrecognisable, like our love You smell of leaf mould And the sweetness of decay Or the incense at the funeral procession here today And the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Ah Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me Oh, no, I might as well I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah Oh yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Go and tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah
