Little one, won't you look outside your window
Seems night's shadows have given up on this town
Darling one, won't you open up your shutters
Seems there's voices in the street calling you down
[PRECHORUS]
Remember whispers on your skin and wear them proudly
Your hands will shake when you play out, but please sing loudly
What a shame, you have known the darkest corners of your mind
And what a shame, you believed you were something to leave behind
[CHORUS]
While it still lurks in songs and parking lots and pictures like a frantic knot
That tightens in your chest, my boy, believe.
Listen to the stars above that shine for you with endless love
Illuminate your nights and set you free
After all, everyone knows that good things, they come in threes
Darling one, can't you feel the sun upon your skin?
From a place where there are only open doors
Precious one, they have always been trying to lead you home
Where there live two hearts that have always been yours
[PRECHORUS]
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
You don't have to wander these streets alone
There are hands reaching out, hands reaching to guide you home
There is light in you, so much light that you have shone
You don't have, don't have to wander alone
[CHORUS]
After all, everyone knows that, everyone knows that, everyone knows that, you see
After all, everyone knows that good things, they come in threes
