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'.
