lyrics

I’m having a hard time sleeping in our bed.
I try to avoid it whenever I can.
It reminds me of how much I miss.
Holding your head against my chest.

But as you’d fall asleep in the end I’d slip into a sea of unrest.
So I’ll spend my nights somewhere else and fail trying to forget again.

Four glasses on the table.
Watch which one disappears the fastest.
It’s the one with worn out eyes and the tangled hair.
It’s my turn today to drink everything away.

But tomorrow’s a different day and the thirst may just sway,
Into someone else’s mouth.
Into someone else’s out.
And they’ll fail trying.

One of us may burn out and the rest may starve.
And beware the bastard who would try and dismantle our new start.

It’s time to take that chance again.
I’m setting up to take my guards away.
I’m going to take my hands away from my head.
And try to forget again.
