lyrics

Things can get so upside down
playing games you don't remember
Pictures of Mr. Stanley's life fell laughing to the ground
and I said catch 'em in your hand, but don't left 'em see it in your eyes
Pictures of Mr. Stanley's life fell laughing to the ground

And I promise not to say a word unless I'm spoken too
And I promise to be by your side
when they come back for you
And I promise not to leave the fan on while we sleep at night
And I promise to be in your dreams when you turn out the light

Time and time I've seen it happen
Over and over again
Pictures of Mr. Stanley's life fell laughing to the ground
and I said hold 'em in you hand, but don't squeeze too hard
coz when it leaves
Pieces of Mr. Stanley's life fell laughing to the ground

And I promise not to say a word unless I'm spoken too
And I promise to be by your side
when they come back for you
And I promise not to leave the fan on while we sleep at night
And I wondering if there's anyone who knows you in this light
And I promise not to say a word unless I'm spoken too
And I promise not to bring you down
with things you know are true
And I promise not to leave the fan on while we sleep at night
And I promise to be in your dreams when you turn out the light

Pictures of Mr. Stanley's life fell laughing to the ground
