Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Walk across the garden in the footsteps of my shadow

See the lights out, no one's home

In amongst the statues, stare at nothing, in the garden moves

Can you help me?

[Chorus]

Close my eyes and hold so tightly

Scared of what the morning brings

Waiting for tomorrow, never comes

Deep inside the empty feeling

All the night time leaves me

Three imaginary boys

[Verse 2]

Slipping through the door

Hear my heart beats in the hallway

Echoes 'round and 'round inside my head

Drifting up the stairs, I see the steps behind me disappearing

Can you help me?

[Chorus]

Close my eyes and hold so tightly

Scared of what the morning brings

Waiting for tomorrow, never comes

Deep inside the empty feeling

All the night time leaves me

Three imaginary boys sing in my sleep

Sweet child, the moon will change your mind

[Verse 3]

See the cracked reflection standing still before the bedroom mirror

Over my shoulder, but no one's there

Whispers in the silence pressing close behind me, pressing close behind

Can you help me?

[Outro]

Can you help me?

Can you help me?

Can you help me?
