Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I started walkin' and I found myself
Standin' on your front porch again
Went through the window of the empty house
And I was standin' where we used to stand
Cheap candles burnin' on wax stained carpets
From when we tried to sip champagne
You never liked it, so you'd spit it out
And we'd sit and listen to the rain
[Verse 2]
But now you're gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Lookin' blue in the end
[Verse 3]
Imagine meadows of egg white poppies
As I led you on walking blind
You turned to me, askin' how much longer
So, I handed you a dandelion
You blew the seeds waiting patiently
Till the moment stopped and slowly died
The shadows cast, and as you turn your back
This could be our last goodbye
[Verse 4]
But now you're gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Lookin' blue in the end
But now you're gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Lookin' blue in the end
[Verse 5]
I remember when you cut your lip
Sippin' on a soda can
And the time when you fell and tripped
Screamin' at the ice cream man
I turned so red when you busted your head
Tried to cover up my crooked smile
I was only teasing, then you stopped breathin'
Now you won't be goin' home tonight
[Verse 6]
But now you're gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Lookin' blue in the end
But now you're gone
Can I see you again?
You were born asleep
Lookin' blue in the end
[Verse 7]
Ain't comin' home tonight, ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight, ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight, ain't comin' home tonight
Ain't comin' home tonight, ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight, I ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight, you ain't comin' home
Ain't comin' home tonight, ain't comin' home
