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

i spoke to god

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
