Struggling with Petrol? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
The cars come up the drive, so many people inside, Under the stars they smile, They want to invade my home I pace the darkened hall, try to consider it all In the dull lamps glow And the truth is I don't know The cars stop outside, they all stay inside The house is drenched in light, But what have I done wrong? I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years, I check everything is right I need to hurry-now! I've been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say 'No one will be around, no one will take me down' They'll all get in back in the cars, And maybe they'll go home But the things they'll never know, Like where it is I go
