Lullaby Singer

You say, "Baby, turn the light out"

But I can see there's something crying in your smile now

You used to be the glitter in the dirt

And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

Why didn't anybody tell you that it ain't easy

Life don't imitate reality TV

I can see you tugging on a wishbone

Angling an outcome

Bones will only break their words

But you don't know that it beats my heart

To black and blue all over

When you cry it burns

Like papercuts and iodine

When you were here

I couldn't find the words

To say I'll be your lullaby singer

I won't let you down

I promise I'll try and try and

Lullaby, lullaby

Panic is a shotgun

I don't know if I can get you out of this one

But you can call me up at twenty after midnight

I'll stay on the line to talk you down and tuck you in

And I'm eyes wide open brighter than the candles

On a cake you wasted wishes on when you were okay

When you were here

I couldn't find the words

To say I'll be your lullaby singer

I won't let you down

I promise I'll try and try and

Lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Lulla, lullaby

Lulla, lullaby

Lullalullaby, lullalullaby

Lulla, lullaby

Lulla, lullaby

Baby, turn the light out

There's something crying in your smile now

You used to be the glitter in the dirt

And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

But when you were here

I couldn't find the words

To say I'll be your lullaby singer

I won't let you down

I promise I'll try and try and

Lullaby, lullaby

When you were here

I couldn't find the words

To say I'll be your lullaby singer

I won't let you down

I promise I'll try

Lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Baby, turn the light out

Baby, turn the light out

Baby, turn the light out

You say, "Baby, turn the light out"
