Like an Empty House Trampled by Turtles

[Verse 1]
They came through town and you conquered the world
And the last I saw was the smoke in the wind
Like an empty house that's ready to burn
It's the end of the day, let the night begin

[Chorus 1]
Slow and trouble, won't you come back to me?
'Cause I'm not the same anymore
Hallelujah I'm on my knees
Knockin' at your door

[Verse 2]
You show up late with a handful of rust
The low sun winding the thread on the walls
And if you can't trust me, then who can you trust?
With a truce in the mirror and there's hope on the walls

[Chorus 2]
Lonesome but friendly, can't you see you're on your own?
And your pockets don't need a thing
Hallelujah I'm on my knees
Won't you let me in?

[Verse 3]
You wake me up with a life on the line
And there's no chance of ever coming back
And if the world is flat and there ain't no time
To pick up all of the nails and glass
