It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

(album: They're Only Chasing Safety - 2004)

I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And it's time for us to leave

Time is running, it's running on empty
And the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night that I let love aside
Full speed ahead, this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high as trees
And the world, it stopped, it stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time, shut your eyes!
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight, so hold on tight!
Kiss me one last time, shut your

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
Glass shatters and comes to a halt, I thought we'd be there by now
Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
I thought it would be so much quicker than this
Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
Pain has never been so brilliant, I made sure you were buckled in
Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep
Now you can walk hand in hand, hand in hand with him!

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time, shut your eyes!
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight, so hold on tight!
Kiss me one last time, shut your
