I've noticed your design
'cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning, burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon,
Stretching through a thousand walls.
So I'll pray for words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone
If we're measuring with time,
In seconds or in lifetimes, there's no difference,
It's constantly just passing by.
But there's nothing at all,
Not valium or slow songs to
Relax my view, just you
Maybe your new perfume
If you can't sleep alone
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't hear the song
Then turn it off, then turn it off
If you cast the first stone
Then throw them all, then throw them all
I start to sleep, but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back to start over again
Just between the rock and paper,
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back to start over again
(And I'll stay here
You'll be gone for another year
The plans that I've made,
Are falling on deaf ears
And I'm besides myself now that you have gone
I'm besides myself now that you have gone)
[Hidden Track]
And I'll stay here
You've been gone for another year
And plans that I made
Are falling on deaf ears
And I'm beside myself
Now that you have gone
I'm beside myself
Now that you have gone
