The Pretty Reckless - Like a Stone lyrics

On a cobweb afternoon in a
Room full of emptiness by a freeway
I confess I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good
We'll lay to rest anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there, like a stone
I'll wait for you there, alone

And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who
Will take me to heaven
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there, like a stone
I'll wait for you there, alone, alone

And on I read, until the day was gone
And I sat in regret of
All the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death, I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there, like a stone
I'll wait for you there, alone, alone
