lyrics

when did it start
when did it start to change
when did i notice
something was kinda strange
you shuffle through the kitchen
staring off, sipping at your cup
where lies the difference
between you and the one i loved

‘cause i’m staring at the light
but i’m seeing darkness
staring at the light
but i’m seeing darkness
who’s that taking my love hostage
who’s that taking my love hostage
must be a stranger standing in your place
i can’t recognize a single word that you say
it’s all upside down

and i went to bed with a dozen roses
went to bed with a dozen roses
woke up they were dead and frozen
woke up they were dead and frozen
all the neighbors seemed to run away
what did you do to them what did you say
straight from a stranger’s mouth

you’re not the anti-hero
and this is not a film noir scene
or so i’m meant to think, yeah
or so i’ve been led to believe
but what’s coming down the airwaves
yeah, the floorboards are shaking again
who’s flipping switches
and who’s stopping up this dam
‘cause you’re yelling at the tv
like the box is listening
just pass the chicken
when you’re done blowing up at me
‘cause you’re tossing in your sleep
like a stranger in my dreams
what’s the stranger look like
are you lying right next to me

‘cause i don’t need no encore
keep holding your bouquet
i’m troubled by the worst of you my darling

‘cause i’m staring at the light
but i’m seeing darkness
staring at the light
but i’m seeing darkness
who’s that taking my love hostage
who’s that taking my love hostage
must be a stranger standing in your place
i can’t recognize a single word that you say
it’s all upside down

and i went to bed with a dozen roses
went to bed with a dozen roses
woke up they were dead and frozen
woke up they were dead and frozen
all the neighbors seemed to run away
what did you do to them, what did you say
straight from a stranger’s mouth
it’s straight from a stranger’s mouth
it’s straight from a stranger’s mouth
