Red numbers on the clock
But there’s no tick
And there’s no tock
Number’s change from time to time
It’s 1:11 in One Eleven
Twice a day I guess that happens
Try as I might
You’re not gonna let me sleep tonight
Watching dances on the wall
The shadows rise
The shadows fall
Another dance another passing car
It’s 1:11 in One Eleven
Shadows dancing to our song
Try as they might
There not a welcome sight tonight
(Chorus)
I walked away and slammed the door
Just like a thousand times before
Now shadows guard me in this room
Our favorite song’s my bed time tune
White numbers on the door
The owner knows me
Been here before
Number’s change from time to time
It’s 1:11 in One Eleven
But I won’t last that long
Try as I might
I don’t want to sleep alone tonight
Watching dances on the wall
My spirits rise
My spirits fall
Another dance another ugly scar
It’s 1:11 in One Eleven
Shadows dancing with our song
Fight as I might
They’ll dance for me another night
(Chorus)
Yeah I walked away and slammed the door
But I’ll walk that lonely road once more
Cause its 1:11 in One Eleven
And my escape’s become my prison
