Lyrics

Idea of a Feeling

I may have had an idea of a feeling
But it disappeared just as I was reaching
Now I think of all the nights I spend drinking
And if all my nights are grey
What if all you nights are grey

Oh there's a hole in the hall
And I'd give everything just to know
That you're looking in and you call me

Oh but don't forget to leave, at least your heart aches
And I've been trying to cry
Oh I've been a fool but I'm trying
And now all my nights are grey
What if all your nights are grey?

Oh there's a hole in the hall
And I'd give everything just to know
That you're looking in and you call me
