Well I took abuse as a poor excuse
in some social circles only to find
what a waste of time it was to be nervous and
when I see you i'm on fire
from the words I finally heard
not taken just taking my time

Claire, if you don't come home tonight
I will take it as red that the things that you said
didn't come to much more than a lie
and life is hard on breaking hearts, sometimes
Verse
When I heard the news well I just refused
to even acknowledge how we arrived at this
point in time without even noticing
this is not what you had planned for the days
you whittled away to within an inch of their lives
Chorus
Claire, if you don't come home tonight
I will take it as red that the things that you said
didn't come to much more than a lie
and life is hard on breaking hearts, sometimes
and these are the lessons you learn from the questions you find
Bridge - Uses the initial part of the chorus but is all picked at once, i'm not 100% on
this part
And well I know this isn't living but at least we're alive
With this lust for better days and the hope that things will change
And yeah I know, this isn't mensa but at least we're alright
with this knack for holding on and the sense that somethings wrong
Chorus
Claire, if you don't come home tonight
I will take it as red that the things that you said
didn't come to much more than a lie
and life is hard on breaking hearts, sometimes
and these are the lessons your learn from the questions you sidestep and answers avoided
that you'll never find
if you don't come home tonight
