A breeze blown through scentless flowers
stirs a bee that would sting just to defend me
in the dark we can walk for hours
in circles who cares it’s you and me
But you’re petting plastic dogs now
expecting to feel warm fur in return
go for a walk and lie down
one last look in your eyes is goodnight
But I don’t mind
if I never sleep again
lying here
is better than I could pretend
So don’t erase
an hour from my day
cause feeling like this
it only happens when you’re awake
Reach for a hand around a corner
five hundred miles minutes the length of my arm
and it's true sunlight makes me warmer
but I miss being cold I miss being calm
and I miss being calm
And if I could fly by 50
maybe I wouldn’t be scared at 19
and if I were brave enough to
close my eyes then maybe I'd see you
But I don’t mind
if I never sleep again
cause lying here
is better than I could pretend
Don’t erase
a minute from my day
cause feeling like this
it only happens when you’re awake
