[Verse 1:]
Can't go home tonight 'til I work it out with you
Standing on the edge of something we can't afford to lose.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Say you wanna leave, wanna leave
Got my heart on a string behind you
We are locked without a key, out a key
And I'm just trying to get through.

[Chorus:]
When the bed's half-made and the light's blown out
We can build our fate over hollow ground
Open up the cage, let the birds fly out
Cause we can't go home...
Like this.

Like, like, like, like
Cause we can't go home like this.

[Verse 2:]
I wanna fall down the kaleidoscope with you
We gotta fix up the hearts we broke, before we do.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Say you wanna leave, wanna leave
But I'm just trying to get through.

[Chorus:]
When the bed's half-made and the light's blown out
We can build our fate over hollow ground
Open up the cage, let the birds fly out
Cause we can't go home like this
No we can't go home like this
No we can't go home like this
Not like this
Can't go home like this
Yeah
Like, like, like, like.

[Outro:]
Like this
Can't go home like this
Can't go home like, like this
No we can't go home like this.
