I know this will mess things up tonight
But God, it feels so good to close my eyes
I’ll say that I’ve been trying to move on
But we both know I’m not

It may be different now
But the pattern won’t wash out
It covers up our eyes
Leaves us knots and severed ties
We follow new lines

I would trade this sleep for you
In a heartbeat
But this weather will not lift
It leaves us shouting into cliffs
Without an echo

Each day you come closer
So close I can almost feel your breath
On my shoulders
But I know if I turn around
You might run away again

It may be different now
But the pattern won’t wash out
It covers up our eyes
Leaves us knots and severed ties
We follow new lines

Stuck like those prehistoric mammoths in the ice
Thaw me out and I won’t close my eyes
Stuck like those prehistoric mammoths in the ice
Thaw me out and I won’t go to sleep tonight
