[Verse 1]

I started walking and I found myself standing on your front porch again

Went through the window of the empty house and I was standing where we used to stand

Cheap candles burning on wax-stained carpets from when we tried to sip champagne

You never liked it, so you'd spit it out and we'd sit and listen to the rain

[Chorus]

But now you're gone

Can I see you again?

You were born asleep

Looking blue in the end

[Verse 2]

Imagine meadows of egg-white poppies as I led you on walking blind

You turned to me asking how much longer, so I handed you a dandelion

You blew the seeds waiting patiently 'til the moment stopped and slowly died

Shadows casting as you turn your back, this could be our last goodbye

[Chorus]

But now you're gone

Can I see you again?

You were born asleep

Looking blue in the end

But now you're gone

Can I see you again?

You were born asleep

Looking blue in the end

[Verse 3]

I remember when you cut your lip sippin' on a soda can

And the time when you fell and tripped, screamin' at the ice cream man

I turned so red when you busted your head, tried to cover up my crooked smile

I was only teasing, then you stopped breathing

Now you won't be going home tonight

[Chorus]

But now you're gone

Can I see you again?

You were born asleep

Looking blue in the end

But now you're gone

Can I see you again?

You were born asleep

Looking blue in the end

[Outro]

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home

Ain't comin' home tonight (I ain't comin' home)

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home tonight (I ain't comin' home)

Ain't comin' home tonight

Ain't comin' home
