Karaoke Plays Lyrics - Maximo Park

You write a list of things to do 

To occupy your time that you could use 

But in my mind it's never final 

And when you sleep I try not to wake you as I leave 

Oh, I waited up for you 

But you didn't come back home 

Oh, I waited up for you 

Couldn't you come back home? 

If someone gets run down 

Karaoke plays somewhere in the background 

But there is no explanation 

What makes a grown man cry 

Karaoke plays 

If someone gets run down 

We never did want the dawn to break 

Decided from the sheets in which we laid 

You know I changed my ways forever 

The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave 

Oh, I waited up for you 

But you didn't come back home 

Oh, I waited up for you 

Couldn't you come back home? 

If someone gets run down 

Karaoke plays somewhere in the background 

But there is no explanation 

What makes a grown man cry 

Karaoke plays 

If someone gets run down 

I came home, there were radio waves 

I heard voices through the radio waves 

I came home, you were nowhere to be found 

The lights were on and the radio played 

I came home, there were radio waves 

A children's cry out through the radio waves 

Every night we've got so much to say 

I wanna hear all the things you did today 

If someone gets run down 

Karaoke plays somewhere in the background 

But there is no explanation 

What makes a grown man cry 

Karaoke plays 

If someone gets run down
