All my troubles fall asleep
One wakes up as the other one leaves
And they shake their hands and say to me
"Everything goes eventually"
And I know it goes on like it should
But it's hard to let go just when it's good
When all my love gets turned around
Haunted by the ghost of a hollow sound
It goes la la la...
The numbers rise and the numbers fall
One gets lonely but two stands tall
And they stick together for the company
But good things only come in 3
All my troubles, they've gone down
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
And your feet fall hard when they hit the ground
Haunted by the ghost of a hollow sound
It goes la la la...
Too many thoughts at the end of a long, long day
Someone says "give in" and you say "okay"
Every night you turn with your hands you pray
That a light goes on to show you the way
All my troubles fall asleep
One wakes up as the other one leaves
And they shake their hands and say to me
"Everything goes eventually"
It goes la la la...
