Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
If we can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Honey we'll be ok
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradlesong
All night long
Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place where they belong
Like a favorite song
I don't wanna be a faded memory
I don't wanna be the ghost that you can't shake
I wanna be the real thing
No one said that we were victims honey
No one said we have to keep the things we get
And there ain't no regrets
And all our friends they moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that desperate yet
Ain't nothing like the real thing
The world can be so cruel
But let me sing to you
This cradlesong
