Everybody wants to take you home

You sat on your bed and cried

I wrap myself round you

You and your stupid pride.

Ditch the dark angel

Climb up on this pedestal.

Everybody wants to take you home

We stepped across the line

Now pleasure's a crown of thorns

And pain is a valentine.

Sometimes we have to learn

When to let the bridges burn.

Why do you want to be

Where no-one can find you

Nobody knows you

Set all your ghosts free

The house is so haunted

Is this what you wanted ?.

Everybody wants to take you home

You try to live up to that

You feel like you're falling short

Like a washed up acrobat.

Mirror mirror on the wall

Raise your arm against it all.
