I've noticed your design Cause I'm not blind I'm like a cigarette Burning burning every night But there's no ash that falls There's only telephone calls in the afternoon Stretching through a thousand walls
So I'll pray For words to say To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone (If you can't sleep alone) I'm better off I'm better off If you can't sleep alone
If you're measuring with time In seconds or in lifetimes There's no difference It's constantly just passing by But there's nothing at all No valium or slow songs To relax my view Just you, maybe your new perfume
So I'll pray For words to say To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone (if you can't sleep alone) I'm better off I'm better off If you can't hear the song (if you can't hear the song) Then turn it off Then turn if off If you cast that first stone Then throw them all Then throw them all
I start to sleep but it's not over The second hand is moving slower now I'd take it all back To start over again Just between the rock and paper The scissors cut in so much deeper I'd take it all back To start over again
