lyrics

Privacy is a red time machine, it'll take you back
Whizzing and whirring to the past
So you can examine
Every little choice you made and find
Every little misstep along the way

Heartbreak is a blue rocket ship
Blasting off to your mind on a mission to find how
You were never good enough for her and why
You'll never be enough for anybody else

You'll succumb to a feeling that seems to never end
Straight out of the best to the sleepless nights, it rends
You a lark and a fool, who no one can depend on
But by all means, try again try again try again

Hope is just an eager boy pushing you up
A yellow plastic slide, and he'll
Spur you on to rise again, just to
Stumble back to where you got up from

Life is like a brown willow tree, reaching for the sky
And across the lawn with its leaves hanging
Down for all to see the goal was never
To be taller than the rest at all

So sleep, my darling, go to sleep
Your best days are today so go out and live it up
Cause tomorrow will be hard, be still for now
And sleep sound
Goodnight goodnight goodnight goodnight
