As I wait for sleep to drag me under

In the evening gloom I sit and wonder

The words I should have said to you

The thing I always meant to do

The bad dreams that all came true



Chorus:

You woke up my neighbourhood

night after night we would row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet round here now



When I think of how we were together

I know we couldn't be like that forever

Beneath the Seven Sister stars

The night we let it go too far

I slept out in the car



Chorus



I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold

I remember feeling like I was eight years old



Somersaults across the lawn

Singing dancing up till dawn

Every now and then we'd have a row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet round here now



Chorus
