I begged you to stay As my mind span around the room that day But I watched you leave instead So I spent the day drawing lines in bed Why’d you have to go My mind changes like the tide I know And the tide has turned our love And it’s not me you’re thinking of But when I looked at you When I looked at you I felt my head come loose I couldn’t see the signs That you said were clear That you said were mine So you laid them out for me And I cried so hard That I couldn’t breathe Tonight I’ll go to sleep With another ghost inside of me And I know you’ll forget What it’s like to be stuck in my head When I looked at you When I looked at you I felt my grip come loose When I looked at you When I looked at you I knew we couldn’t undo When I look at you When I look at you I feel my head come loose When you look at me= I know you feel it too There’s nothing time can do

You twisted the words and spat them at me I twisted your world then you couldn’t see the wood from the trees No you couldn’t see the roots wrapped around me. Then hung like the moon all wrapped in the stars
 So softly I swooned at you from afar and the forward you came All draped in a light that I promised to save So I spoke to god to figure it out
 Please clean out your ghosts they’re inside my house again and I cannot sleep No not while they’re flying in circles round me Put your love around me Hold it close so I can see again Out of my head
 So I can say
 Baby come back to bed Put your love around me Hold it close so I can see again Out of my eyes 
So I can say Baby just spend the night Put your love around me Hold it close so I can see again Out of my head
 So I can say
 Baby come back to bed

I dreamed that I was the night
 Dark and cold and creeping all over Everything in sight
 So I woke at the break of dawn With tears in my eyes
 I guess that’s why they call it the morning Cause I’m loosing your love
 Oh god please tell me
 I’m someone you’re still dreaming of Cause it all feels so real So I spend each day
 Put my heart on the page But you took it away Won’t you take me away And if I were you I would say something Say something You usually do But you’re quiet And it is so loud Won’t you do something
 Do something Before I walk out
 If I leave I’m never coming back I’ve given you everything I have And if there’s nothing to be said Then take your body from this bed And when the mornings coming through But the night still talks to you
 Just think of what my love could do

about

A self-proclaimed "heartache EP", i dreamed i was the night is perhaps just as introspective as 2019's Bare, but it's not about Carney. No stranger to demons, Carney's debut album was largely about her battle with her own mental health. i dreamed i was the night, by contrast, is full of rage and sorrow, but directed at someone else, and followed by inevitable healing during the aftermath of a bad breakup.
