  • I can't escape it
    Never gonna make it
    Out of this in time
    I guess that's just fine
    I'm not there quite yet
    My thoughts, such a mess
    Like a little boy
    What you running for?

    Arrive at the door
    Anyone home?
    Have I lost it all?

    Struck me like a chord
    I'm an ugly boy
    Holding out the night
    Lonely after light
    You begged me not to go
    Sinking like a stone
    Use me like an oar
    And get yourself to shore

    Bang at the door
    Anyone home?
    It's just what they do
    Right in front of you
    Like a cannonball
    Slamming through your wall
    In their face I saw
    What they're fighting for
    I can't escape it
    I'm never gonna make it to the end, I guess

    Struck me like a chord
    I'm an ugly boy
    Holdin' out the night
    Lonely after light
    Banging on the door
    I don't want to know
    Sinking like a stone
    So use me like an oar

    Hard to fight what I can't see
    Not trying to build no dynasty
    I can't see beyond this wall
    But we lost this game
    So many times before

    I been on a cold road
    I'll be waiting, yeah
    I'll be waiting from the other side
    Waiting for the tide to rise
    I been on a cold road
    I'll be waiting, yeah
    I'll be waiting from the other side
    Waiting for the tide to rise Writer/s: Albert Hammond, Fabrizio Moretti, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Nikolai Fraiture, Paul Vassallo
