Like an Empty House

[Verse 1]

They came through town

And you conquered the world

And the last I saw was the smoke in the wind

Like an empty house that's ready to burn

It's the end of the day, let the night begin

[Pre-Chorus]

Slow and trouble

Won't you come back to me?

Cause I'm not the same anymore

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, I'm on my knees

Knocking at your door

[Verse 2]

You show up late with a handful of rust

The low sun winding the thread on the walls

And if you can't trust me, then who can you trust?

With a truce in the mirror and there's hope on the walls

[Pre-Chorus]

Lonesome but friendly

Can't you see you're on your own?

And your pockets don't need a thing

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, I'm on my knees

Won't you let me in?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

You wake me up with a life on the line

And there's no chance of ever coming back

And if the world is flat and there ain't no time

To pick up all of the nails and glass

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you tell me honey that your heart is mine

Just tell me how to make it last

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, I'm on my knees

Girl, our time has passed

[Instrumental Outro]
