The air is stale and old
I feel my time unfold
We’re lost between the silky creases of dirty sheets
And pent up speeches
And when sleep leaves me behind
I cannot find my mind
Gone from here and now
And then somehow I’m on your
Fingertips, coffee sips,
Satin lips, and manic bits
Between your words
…I feel absurd
And then sleep leaves me behind
And I cannot find my mind
It’s in a stream of waking dreams
When you and I will cut through sighs
That speak in lies…
Where you love me
Like I love you
Where you see the smile behind my eyes,
You’ll take my waist when I cry
So could you love me like I pray at night
Could you love me like I hope you might
Could you please try
And then sleep leaves me behind
So I cannot find my mind…
It’s hanging from the street lights
It’s burning out the night sky
It’s falling in the alcove
Broken at the words you chose
Before all sleep left me behind
And I thought I’d trip the line
And tumble down where I can’t be found
Without a clue that I love you
Like you’ll never love me
So sleep leaves me behind
I cannot find my mind
It’s hanging from the street lights
It’s burning out the night sky
It’s falling in the alcove
Broken at the words you chose
It’s lost to me who’s lost on you
…
And the way you don’t love me
