You Woke Up My Neighbourhood

As I wait for sleep to drag me under

In the evening gloom I sit and wonder

The words I should have said to you

The things I always meant to do

The bad dreams that all came true

You woke up my neighbourhood

Night after night we would row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet 'round here now

When I think of how we were together

I know we couldn't be like that forever

Beneath the Seven Sister stars

The night we let it go too far

I slept out in the car

You woke up my neighbourhood

Night after night we would row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet 'round here now

I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold

I remember feeling like I was eight years old

Somersaults across the lawn

Singing dancing up till dawn

Every now and then we'd have a row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet round here now

You woke up my neighbourhood

Night after night we would row

You woke up my neighbourhood

Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
