1.
Tunnels 02:32
If we could just have one more night like this Perhaps we could get away. And I'll dig into a tunnel from my house to yours Through a secret door. Maybe we could leave, escape to the countryside As gypsies and drifters and thieves. And I'll dig away a tunnel for you and I to leave In the night.
2.
Hello, I'm calling again to a friend, Although it's late. Under the stairs we used to play, The summer breeze will wash us away. And you were always the strangest girl In our little town. With hair red velvet shade, And your clothes torn with age. (Refrain) And outside that ugly school You are a pretty painting. But you're still hanging around Next to me, arm in arm. All of the ghosts come out of the walls of our old house, And they dance around. Given the chance, we could escape, And in our dreams we're wide awake. (Refrain)
3.
Your presence, it still blinds me. Left behind, but not behind me. I see your face again, how it reminds me. Feelings slurred about, it makes me wanna shout. How could I ever love you without some doubt? Will I ever see you again? I lost you once now I’ve lost a friend. I’ve lost you…
4.
Last night I had a dream of your old house. Last night I had a dream that we were together. You were dressed in all blacks and whites, Matching the stars outside. Your skin was the color of a peach, As pink as mine. (Refrain) The summer nights make me remember City lights that are fading fast. Distant traveler rest your weary bones next to mine. Last night I had a dream of your old house. Last night I had a dream that we were together. (Refrain)
5.
There's a beat inside of your head, And a monster under your bed, And some cold tea in a plastic cup again. And all the priests are going to Hell With the ringing of a bell, And there's no way they'll ever be saved again at all. And holding onto your hand Is like holding onto a clam, And the sand along the shore is washing away. There's a beat inside of your head, And a monster under your bed, And some cold tea in a plastic cup again.
6.
Oh, come back to me my dear, I've made it this far now this might be my year. I'll buy you a milkshake any time, I'll be yours and you'll be mine. (Refrain) Oh you and me will fly above these trees, And make this all worthwhile. You're still as beautiful as ever, Careless words when we're together. It’s been several days since it crossed my mind, I feel scared and alone and out of time. (Refrain)
7.
You stand at the shore, I don't know what for. I wait patiently, unbreakably alone. You were more than I asked for, Our eyes, they always meet. How could my affection lie in mystery so deep? (Refrain) Fly on by, great blue sky, I'll be waiting here. Bite your lip, as I trip on our goodbye. One day, our paths did cross, Like two albatross over the sea. I speak so carefully, as if to be on the phone. I ask why wait to start this mess, But I digress all the same. Your soft brown eyes make me wonder why I'd ever play this game. (Refrain)
