Paper My Walls

I’ll paper my walls with the letters you sent me
So I can feel your words pressed against me
Put a sign on my door reading no entry
Bury my face in the shirt you lent me

I’ll shut my curtains and switch off the light
Stop my clock and stay up all night
No-one dare to ask me if I’m alright
You’re in my mind but you’re out of my sight

CAN’T YOU READ THE SIGN ON MY DOOR IT SAYS NO ENTRY
SO DON’T WAKE ME UP ANYMORE
UNTIL THE TURN OF THE CENTURY

Last train to home I don’t wanna take it
Last promise I make now I won’t break it
Last chance I’ve just gotta make it
Last time I leave this still I’m gonna shake it

If I’m so right, how could I be so wrong?
If life is so short, why does it feel so long?
If I’m in, how is it I don’t belong?
How come I look so weak when I feel so strong?

CAN’T YOU READ …

Well I’m easily led and I’m underfed
I’ll wear your clothes and I’ll sleep in your bed
I’ll make your tea and I’ll bake your bread
In all your footprints I will readily tread

CAN’T YOU READ THE SIGN ON MY DOOR IT SAYS NO ENTRY
SO DON’T WAKE ME UP ANYMORE
UNTIL THE TURN OF THE CENTURY
THAT’S WHERE I’LL BE

I’m gonna paper my walls, not taking any calls
Til the next century
I’ve told you two thousand times
It’s sooner than you think
If anything happens WAKE ME UP
