The Boxmasters Love & Hate in Desperate Places






GoodNight, Sleep Tight, I'm Gone

(Billy Bob Thornton/Raymond Hardy/Kirk McKim)

Standing at the bedroom door
It feels like I'm nailed to the floor
We just can't take any more
Of there stagnant dreams we still adore

We could have been the loves of our lives
If we were different than we are
W ewould have been the perfect pair
If our arms could only reach a star

With blindness in our sight
Where left is all that's right
We're weak with all our might
We're a dimming brillant light
When morning comes you'll catch on
You'll see the footprints on the lawn
Forgone conclusions will be drawn
Good night, sleep tight, I'm Gone

A moonbeam lights your hopeful face
Sleep's our only peaceful place
When daylight comes our hearts will race
In fear of how to use this space

We could have been the loves of our lives
If we were different than we are
W ewould have been the perfect pair
If our arms could only reach a star

With blindness in our sight
Where left is all that's right
We're weak with all our might
We're a dimming brillant light
When morning comes you'll catch on
You'll see the footprints on the lawn
Forgone conclusions will be drawn
Good night, sleep tight, I'm Gone
