In the darkest hour of the darkest day
You came and darkened my doorway
Just tryin' to drive the dark away
But I kept my shades drawn
I drew a bath after you'd gone
Got in the tub and soaked 'til dawn

Why'd you keep me here so long?
I'll keep singing you my songs
I'll sing 'em 'til my voice is gone
Then you put a record on
You put my favorite record on
You know I wanna sing along

I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against
The wall after you leave before you come
Likе the captain's clock

What I wanted from you
Wasn't what I got from you
Now all I got are thoughts of you
Put thеm in my dresser drawer
I put on a shirt you wore
Try to put my best foot forward

I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against
The wall after you leave before you come
I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against
The wall after you leave before you come
Like the captain's clock in the
Belly of the croc
The captain's clock in the belly of the croc

Do you wanna take a trip with me
To Mexico or Tenerife?
I wanna lie on a beach
Do you wanna take a trip with me
Up to the roof, down to the street?
Who's gonna hold my hand
Who’s gonna shoe my feet?

If you find somebody new
I won't weep or mourn for you
I'll hold my head up high to prove
That one is indivisible by two
And I'm invisible to you
