But when you start to speak

Never thought I see a brighter day
The dark interior
Blows those silver clouds away


'Til now this was my view
But I'm counting on you
How am I ever going to make you see?
Nothing in this ugly world comes easily
I want you to be...


My lovely hooligan
Come by and smash my pane
'Til I can see right through
