Will you return to sender the message that I wrote
On a spiral bound pad left around your flat
I had to go
Tell my mother not to worry
Tell my father I'm alright
Been awake for days
O when you coming crashing through my night?
And for a while, I'd lay me down
If I should ever wander
If I should ever stray
I've got a vague idea I like it here
And the feeling I should stay
I did my worst to those who loved me
And gave my best to those who don't
Well I brought them all a wrecking ball
And I took it to their homes
And for a while, I'll lay me down
