if i could sleep

staring at my phone, are we both alone?
tongue tied to my bed, i wanna call you but i just lay still.
i believe in honesty at night when the lights are low.
if i could sleep i'd probably dream that you were here with me.
i've got a bottle full of rain i saved from our last day,
i drink it when it's late cause you're still far away.
i believe in honesty at night when the lights are low.
if i could sleep i'd probably dream that you were here with me.
is what you want really what you want when the sun shines in?

blush

in the beginning
we're just touching and sinning
but you left the room while the orchestra was tuning
and now we'll never know the ending.
now you're making me blush
wipe your mouth
there's still blood dripping out
laughing to yourself
moving on to someone else cause a dalliance was all you need.
now you're making me blush

sorry, i guess

said something stupid again,
upset my only friend.
is it enough to say i'm sorry?
how many times can you fuck up before it's just who you are?
wrap it up in a couple of drinks,
pat on the back and a nice little wink.
is it enough to say i'm sorry?
how many times can you fuck up before it's just who you are?
because i'm not any different,
no i'm not any different.

blue grey eyes
so wide he could see the coming without the light
that he was damned in the dark to live without sight.
shut up in a house, no way out.
dreaming of a life un-lived
the colors always haunting him.
oh my god,
i feel it again, crawling under my skin.
and i swear i'll never waste another sin.
dive in the backyard pool
with your drink your socks and your shoes.
walked out in a crowd and tried to light the chandelier with your mouth.
high when you hit the floor,
closed eyes don't hide what you knew before.
oh my god,
i feel it again, crawling under my skin.
and i swear i'll never waste another sin.

leave on your light

when you lock your door at night
do you think it's me outside?
do you think I've come knocking in your porch light?
now it's getting dark again
did you go out with all your friends?
do you wonder if i wonder where you've been?
all those nights when i can't sleep
is it because I'm awake in your dreams?
leave on your light
so i can see if you changed your mind.

shotgun

the gun was taller than me
the day grandpa would teach-
never to run when it's loaded
"go grab the shells, let's have some fun, kid"
