Midnight hair straddles porcelain skin   I will whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back   and trembling hands trace outlines of absence [scream]   I'll whisper in your ear, yeah, and the chills on the small of your back.   Accidents, and kilometers, sketch the boy's face, lines drawn by tears   Sketch the girls [2x]   Phone calls overheard by passers by, passing by   Seems less distant than the tremble in your voice   Well I'm as distant as this freeway,   I should not be behind this wheel      [Chorus]   I assure you I'll be home soon standing on the front lawn   Holding onto phone lines   I assure you I'll be home soon standing on the front lawn   Holding onto phone lines   [Background]   You just take, and you break and you take and you break it      [Scream]   I am by your side   Just hold me in your arms   I am by your side   Just hold me in your arms   I'm by your side   Dying in your arms   I am by your side   Dying in your arms      So hold me and I'll be home unless you get the best of me   So hold me and I'll be home unless you get the best of me      I can hear your voice quiet and slow through the crack of a window   but somewhere between a discord and Michigan, my heart was lost.   it was just an accident. could this really be any harder?   and a boy, who's a soul survivor and he's whispering in your ear,   that he'll be home soon. but he never really made it that far   never made it that far   and I'll whisper as your words scream, why, why'd i warn you.      [Chorus x2]
