Mansions

There was a time when someone’s house felt like a home to me
A golden image inside
We ran for miles, but now that home is what the eye can see;
A building in the ground
It’s open echoes, the sound, through the walls
Oh, I fear the glory built through it all

This ain’t no way to live, held captive with a kiss
But it’s you and I
A reckless thing you did with bad intentions
Let me back inside
The mansions are dancin’, all they ever do is whisper to me
‘Sleep in my head, under my bed’ (woah-oh)
‘Cause you said you would, you said that you would stay

Stay stay stay x4

You stole the night, made it too hard for me to try and sleep
A pillow over my eyes
This world was mine; the rooms, the doors, and all the smaller things
It’s what we built up through time
It’s open echoes, the sound, down the hall
Oh, this doesn’t feel like where I belong

This ain’t no way to live, held captive with a kiss
But it’s you and I
A reckless thing you did with bad intentions
Let me back inside
The mansions are dancin’, all they ever do is whisper to me
‘Sleep in my head, under my bed’ (woah-oh)
‘Cause you said you would, you said that you would stay

You said that you would stay....

This ain’t no way to live, held captive with a kiss
But it’s you and I
A reckless thing you did with bad intentions
Let me back inside
The mansions are dancin’, all they ever do is whisper to me
‘Sleep in my head, under my bed’ (woah-oh)
‘Cause you said you would, you said that you would stay
