KT Tunstall
False Alarm
(written by: KT Tunstall and Martin Terefe)

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I've drugged it in its sleep
There isn't many memories
I'm comfortable to keep

This ball keeps rolling on
It's heading for the streets
Keep expecting you to send for me
The invitation never comes

Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall

But maybe it's a false alarm

And all the answers sound the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That doesn't have a name
Maybe I can't see

Maybe it's just me


Now the curtain's coming up
The audience is still
I'm struggling to cater for
The space I'm meant to fill

And distance doesn't care

Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall

But maybe it's a flase alarm

And all the answers sound the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That doesn't have a name
Maybe I can't see

Maybe it's just me

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I drugged it in its sleep
Remember what you said
Are you comfortable to keep it?
