Like an Empty House Songtext

Like an Empty House Songtext
They came through town
And you conquered the world
And the last I saw was the smoke in the wind
Like an empty house
Thats ready to burn
Its the end of the day let the night begin
Slow and trouble won't you come back to me
Cause im not the same anymore
Hallelujah im on my knees
Knockin at your door
You show up late
With a handful of rust
The low sun winding the thread on the walls
And if you can't trust me
Then who can you trust
With a truce in the mirror and theres hope on the walls
Lonesome but friendly can't you see you're on your own
And your pockets dont need a thing
Hallelujah im on my knees
Won't you let me in
You wake me up
With a life on the line
And there's no chance of ever coming back
And if the world is flat
And there ain't no time
To pick up all of the nails and glass
Don't you tell me honey that your heart is mine
Just tell me how to make it last
Hallelujah im on my knees
Girl our time has passed
And you conquered the world
And the last I saw was the smoke in the wind
Like an empty house
Thats ready to burn
Its the end of the day let the night begin
Slow and trouble won't you come back to me
Cause im not the same anymore
Hallelujah im on my knees
Knockin at your door
You show up late
With a handful of rust
The low sun winding the thread on the walls
And if you can't trust me
Then who can you trust
With a truce in the mirror and theres hope on the walls
Lonesome but friendly can't you see you're on your own
And your pockets dont need a thing
Hallelujah im on my knees
Won't you let me in
You wake me up
With a life on the line
And there's no chance of ever coming back
And if the world is flat
And there ain't no time
To pick up all of the nails and glass
Don't you tell me honey that your heart is mine
Just tell me how to make it last
Hallelujah im on my knees
Girl our time has passed
