can hardly hear you from on the floor
your hesitation is my reward
you want an answer from me tonight
i couldn’t tell you to save my life

why we’re even hear after all this time
i’ll never understand, you’ll never realize

in our reflection i can see
you look so lonely next to me
you always swept it underneath

why we’re even hear after all this time
i’ll never understand, you’ll never realize

in our reflection i can see
you look so lonely next to me
you always swept it underneath

and it’s getting very near the end
and i’m wondering what it might have been
if you believe in that sort of thing you ought to know
i’m pulling back… and letting go

find my way back so i can downsize
stayed up so late i could hear the sun rise
be it quiet be it soon 
when you sleep take my penance
make me guilty

in your bed beneath my room
the water quickly covers you
slowly i regain some feeling 
my hands are blue my fingers bleeding

lies are sweet and ordinary

in your bed beneath my room
the water quickly covers you
slowly i regain some feeling 
my hands are blue my fingers bleeding

so you set me down into a padded cell
all i get today is a little taste of hell
you let me to believe you so you could shut me out
and now you rest assured beyond a show of doubt

can i fall apart in your tired willing arms?
i lack the courage to admit you were ever wrong
do i seem afraid when you turn the other way?
from everything I do that comes back around again

that’s enough from me for a little while
not that you could see through a sorry smile
and in case you can’t tell you’ve broken this shell of me

i’m taking every word you say to me with of grain of salt
because it’s not just my fault anymore
if you would have known me way before it all went bad
you might have taken to thought the things we had

that’s enough from me for a little while
not that you could see through a sorry smile
and in case you can’t tell you’ve broken this shell of me

if i had a shred of compassion for your aching head, you might feel older
holding you so dear like angel in the stratosphere could be my only hope

do you stay up
and stare at glowing wires
you’ve said it now 
the moon’s gone and left me alone

did you even notice that those words were in my heart
could have stayed forever in this word of joy and
i won’t be long now
i don’t belong

so alone, alone
i know it’s wrong
i waited an hour for you

recall the memory of one dream
where all i wanted was 
ice cream and caramel wings

did you even notice that those words were in my heart
could have stayed forever if you weren’t apart
didn’t know i waited for this day to end up right where we started
but i know it won’t

so alone, alone (to see against the wind, i won’t)
i know it’s wrong (but i won’t pray)
i waited an hour for you (it’s falling down around, like me)

i can’t stop wondering
and i won’t sleep knowing
i’ll wake

if you awake to find it’s all the same
i’ll try again 
i swear i’ll try again to fall asleep
wanting everything
just to be completely free

at least believe there’s something else this time
you know you’ll find me here asleep under this spell
who’ll notice?
i’m wondering myself

now you gaze between love and despair
it’s hard to see a look become a prayer to fall asleep
wanting everything
just to be completely free

at least believe there’s something else this time
you know you’ll find me here asleep under this spell
who’ll notice?
i’m wondering myself

all at once it occurred to me:
it’s the way that i’ll ever be
well never mind 
what i meant to say was along the lines of making you stay
and i whisper this as you walk away
"at least believe in me"

at least believe there’s something else this time
you know you’ll find me here asleep under this spell
who’ll notice?
i’m wondering myself
