Falling asleep over earth
Leaving the ground for the lovers
Cast away back for the better days
When I knew it was easy to lie
When I'd only one hand for goodbyes, then
I slipped under the empty bed
Got lost inside the dark hollows
It's the black of your lenses I still can't see through
And if you had been looking at me
Then you'd know I'd intended to leave, here
I don't get to make you nervous. But I got to, tonight
I don't mean to make you nervous, I'm gonna have to, this time
I've gotta know we're better here than we were last year
I can never just say what I mean
Can only manage to say something similar
If my tongue wasn't moored to the bow of my lips
Then I'd surely be able to say
That our black and white has become grey
I don't get to make you nervous. But I got to, tonight
I don't mean to make you nervous, I'm gonna have to, this time
