Pulling up the shade again,
The sunlight hits the room and the dust I see there,
Everything that hangs in the air -
Memories and wasted years
And half a life of oh so nears
That floats there so plain in the day -
It leaves me with some restless feeling I know
Like a vacant lot that's in my veins, and it goes
Every time it gets a hold of me
Every time it gets a hold on me love
Every time it gets a hold of me
Every time it gets a hold, I want you to know
There's nothing in this world for me.
Nothing in the world or where it’s going,
Nothing in this world I want to know.
What a change when you and me
Have walked an hour against the sea
And slept in the sand,
Where it sticks to the back of my hand.
Every word that seemed a tomb, says
'Let me back in to that room,
I've got something new.
It's a girl and we're coming for you.
Feels like I don't know a thing
But it'd a diamond mine in every vein.
From without, well, it might look the same but,
Every time it gets a hold of me
Every time it gets a hold on me love
Every time it gets a hold of me
Every time it gets a hold, I want you to know
There's nothing in this world for me.
Nothing in the world or where it’s going,
Nothing in this world I need to know.
