There's a weakness in the window
I place my footprints in a 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

La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
I'd like your eyes wide
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
I'm knocking at your back door
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
Nervous like a knife fight
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
Be careful what you ask for

I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep
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
certain package here to deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will

La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
I'd like your eyes wide
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
I'm knocking at your back door
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
Nervous like a knife fight
La dada, dadada, dadada, dadada dada
Be careful what you ask for

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

I can here you breathe
I'm feeling the shake and the sound of my heartbeat
Can let go
Do you know I’m feeling the pain of my first love
I let it go
Can’t let go

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