 When your only friends are hotel rooms
 Hands are distant lullabies
 If I could turn  around I would tonight
 These roads never seemed so long
 Since your paperheart start
beating  leaving me suddenly  alone
 Will daybreak ever come?
 Who's gonna call on sunday  morning?
 Who's gonna drive you home?
 I just want one more chance
 To put my arms  in fragile hands
 I thought you said forever
Over  and over
 A sleepless night becomes
 bitter oblivion
 These thoughts run
 through my head
Over  and over
 Complaints of violins
 become my only friends
 Post Chorus: Dm
 August evenings
 Bring solemn warnings
 To remem-ber  to kiss the
 ones you love  goodnight
 You never know what
 temporal days may bring
 So laugh love live free  and sing
 When life is in  dischord
 Praise ye the lord

 Who's gonna call on sunday  morning?
 Who's gonna drive you home?
 I just want one more chance
 To put my arms in fragile hands

 (Repeat Chorus)
 I thought you said forever
over  and over
 These thoughts run
 through my head
 End on
