The Pretty Reckless

On a cold wet afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death
Reading how we ll die alone
And if we re good we ll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I ll wait for you there like a stone
I ll wait for you there alone

On my deathbed I will pray
To the Gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to Heaven?

To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I ll wait for you there like a stone
I ll wait for you there alone, alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I ve done

For all that I ve blessed
And all that I ve wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wonder on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I ll wait for you there like a stone
I ll wait for you there alone, alone
