Second single on the upcoming 'Sour Bubblegum release.
lyrics
My eyes sink into the screen
that I still don't know how to read
and all the pretty dark colors
of the world seem out of my reach.
'Oh where did the money go?' we say,
but we really have no rights to preach.
I've got my eyes closed lately,
I have to think about how to breathe.
Love, I'm turning tender,
I'm light on my feet.
All this private joy and grief,
gotta let it out now,
before I fall asleep,
don't want to be without you;
what better could we be?
Don't want to fall asleep.
My thoughts lie out in a park
or any place where my soul feels clean,
cause in the pit of my heart
there isn't anything I don't want to bleach.
Oh, the years just gain significance,
the yellow pages are the fallen leaves,
the rotting record of emotion
it is impossible for me to keep.
Love, I'm turning tender,
I'm light on my feet.
All this private joy and grief,
gotta let it out now,
before I fall asleep,
don't want to be without you;
what better could we be?
Don't want to fall asleep.
(Waltzing to the end of time,
colder as the sky drips dry,
warmer as it flakes with snow,
I feel a smile break 'cross your eyes)
We fly our kite down a dismal lane,
we play in the danger of night,
we pray in our own way.
