Steel that’s slipping up and down my finger
Sweetness traded in for something bitter
Sparks swim up and down the stream
And flicker in unlit kerosene
I’m halfway home but I’ve never been further away
Greetings that were never said aloud
Stumble drunk and blinded in this crowd
A fragile mind dressed up in red
Another dressed down where she lay her head
And one that twisted when it stepped outside
Hear the sound of the man on the radio
Turn around you can hear it on the radio
Tune it out it’s the verse that you didn’t know
It’s the voice you keep hidden on the telephone
Please don’t break down
Shifting steps that echo on this street
A closing door that haunts me as it creaks
I lied in the bed where we made our home
My heart was warm when it turned to stone
She’s alone with me, she’s alone with me
Hear the sound of the man on the radio
Turn around you can hear it on the radio
Tune it out it’s the verse that you didn’t know
It’s the voice you keep hidden on the telephone
Please don’t break down
Hear the sound of the man on the radio
Turn around you can hear it on the radio
Tune it out it’s the verse that you didn’t know
It’s the voice you keep hidden on the telephone
Hear the sound of the man on the radio
Turn around you can hear it on the radio
Tune it out it’s the verse that you didn’t know
It’s the voice you keep hidden on the telephone
Please don’t break down
She’s alone with me
She’s alone with me
She’s alone with me
