Don’t get up
Don’t get off
Don’t get anywhere but here
Where we’re frozen
I see your breath disappear

Did they leave us here in this dream?
Well I’ll rhyme myself to sleep
Under the sheets
We keep the beat

Woke up – playing these songs I hear – so clear
Woke me up – told me just stay here

It’s not all, It’s not all
Its not all I have
I have not given enough.
I had not listened through
So now I do

And you said you heard something
That you lost
Well I lost it too
So we hear now with nothing to lose
Like stars make shapes depending on your view

I like it up top, yeah
On the salt in your skin
I like it on top, yeah
The space where you begin

I’ve got one last plane ticket to the other side
And I don’t know how, so high, but I’m so high

But she likes it on top of me
And I woke up here alone
I feel so happy
Alone

I see you’re going to die today
Yeah I said, I can see it
One of us will see the light today
Get extinguished

I’ve got one last plane ticket to the other side
And I don’t know how, so high, but I’m so high

But she likes it on top of me
And I woke up here alone
I feel so happy alone

Picked you out
Heard your name
Told you mine
Seen someone (frames?)

And we're made of paint
Color smeared
Across the page
Come here

And we swirl and dance
With the falling leaves
Disguise ourselves
In the orange, red, yellow, autumn breeze

Can you see?
I hope we dry slowly


All we need
All these leaves
Like two trees,
We don't speak

But I can tell you,
That I love you

All we need
All these leaves
Like two trees,
We don't speak

I can tell you,

Wait
Stay still
I found a way

We
Stay lost here
And age

Wrote it all sunset sinks fall
Us out with the day
That we made
Under fog starts crawl our lungs
Little sparks that reach
Only if you leave and see so obvious

Anyway
I can still see the sun
Anyway
Is almost gone
Anyway
I can still see the sun
Anyway
Is almost gone

Close my eyes, haven’t slept in five days
We’ll sleep when we’re dead again

I said NO, I said I don’t wanna go, wanna go
- Close my eyes, haven’t slept in five days
- We’ll sleep when we’re dead

Got your scene in my jeans
In a pose stuck out of time
And my plain looks are not enough, though
I’m only home to settle up

And I’m setting it off
and I’m riding off, to the road,
So drive me slow… oh drive me slow
Carrying on

Now you haven’t left your soul
But they made off with your bones
And you notice the things you own
When you notice you’re not home

Seconds after I awake
I can feel my dreams escape
Try to stop them at the gate
Time is real I’m always late

There I see another sign
All my friends can read my mind
So tell me what I dreamt before
All I wait for

So late, you’re so late, I’m so late, I’m so late

It’s not what’s there but only what you see, only
Take us back to somewhere underneath, all of this

You’re so late, I’m so late, I’m so late

It’s not what’s there but only what you see, only
Take us back to somewhere underneath, all of this
(3 times)

Heard your name
And I called it, said it
Time we changed
Hearts more often

Recently
We sit silently
And I watch the walls
Beside your TV

And I wait off in space

Leave you staring straight
As I float away like smoke
Don’t know where it goes
The ceiling I suppose
And I leave you staring straight
As I float away like smoke
Don’t know where it goes

Heard your name
Echo from somewhere
Somehow lost
My ear for what sounds the same

And I wait off in space

Leave you staring straight
As I float away like smoke
Don’t know where it goes
The ceiling I suppose
And I leave you staring straight
As I float away like smoke
Don’t know where it goes

Home, I left so long ago, wait for me
Home, I left so long ago, wait for me
Home, I left you long ago, wait for me
