Empress Of - Icon lyrics

[Verse 1] If I wasn't awake, I'd be dreaming I took too many pills to be sleeping And the memory of you keeps on creeping Up my slippery spine all this evening Take my hand in your hand like we're walking On the pebbly sand and we're talking Drive me up to the coast, lay my seat back But I'm just in the room with the lights on [Pre-Chorus] Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh Every minute pa**es like an hour [Chorus] When I'm just in the room with the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon All that keeps me awake is the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon [Verse 2] The first line of the night cuts the deepest Then I'm struggling to keep my secrets As we order the drink that's the cheapest

If I lend you my kiss, please don't keep it [Pre-Chorus] Oh oh ooh oh ooh oh Every minute pa**es like an hour [Chorus] When I'm just in the room with the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon All that keeps me awake is the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon [Bridge] Keep the lights on for my sake Keep the lights on for my sake Close my eyes I see your face Close my eyes I see your face I just keep myself awake I just keep myself awake I don't want to feel this way I don't want to feel this [Outro] Just in the room with the lights on And there's no one who knows I'm their icon All that keeps me awake is the last line And there's no one who knows I'm their icon
