[Verse 1]

There's a weakness in the window

Place my footprints in the dark room

There's lonely voices like a scarecrow

In the hallway like a lost ghost

In the bedroom, I see a shadow

From the moon with light from a candle

On a bed frame lies a girl

Her reflection in the mirror

[Pre-Chorus]

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

I like your eyes wide

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

I've been knocking at your backdoor

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

Nervous like a knife fight

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

Be careful what you ask for

[Chorus]

I do this from time to time

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

Where I like to think of you with me

[Verse 2]

It's a dark night on the West Coast

Then a soft breeze as the sun rose

Then the phone rang like a gunshot

Like a siren on the beach rock

There's a message at the river

A certain package here to deliver

When the day breaks after nightfall

I will be there you know I will

[Pre-Chorus]

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

I like your eyes wide

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

I've been knocking at your backdoor

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

Nervous like a knife fight

Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada

Be careful what you ask for

[Chorus]

I do this from time to time

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)

I do this from time to time

Where I like to think of you with me

[Bridge]

I can hear you breathe

I'm feeling the shake

And the sound of my heartbeat

Can't let go

Do you know

I'm feeling the pain

Of my first love?

I won't let it go

Can't let go

[Chorus]

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I want to taste you as you breathe (can't let go)

[Outro]

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I can never say the things I mean (can't let go)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)

I do this from time to time (can't let go)

Where I like to think of you with me

From time to time
