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.
