I saw the red and blue When they came to take your smile away Like they'd been waiting there all day Never sleeping, never keeping Promises they made With nowhere better to be Waiting, the hospital sings out of key In the room next door They turned out your light I just don't feel like sleeping tonight We wound the clocks back to eleven So their faces say that you're still here Because we know the hospital's still singing The only song that it knows The song that carried you out On the night they came to take your smile away In the room next door They turned out your light I just don't feel like sleeping tonight When we were young we were invincible And machines didn't belong Near your heart at all And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes I didn't want to be the one that let you down Like your New Year's resolutions I didn't want to be the one that saw you drown In the water by the hill beneath the fireworks In the room next door They turned out your light I just don't feel like sleeping tonight When we were young we were invincible And machines didn't belong Near your heart at all And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes I remember the cold night The time I felt like I might die Then I saw the lights go out She told you to close your eyes Just close your eyes and let sleep Come and take you now Red and blue came to take your smile away I saw the lights go out in the room next to me When we were young we were invincible And machines didn't belong Near your heart at all And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes
