Hold back the words that say i won't be here,
Build up the nerve and switch to second gear.
Coffee stains tell me i should stay,
But tomorrow there's nothing left,
But these two paintings on my wall,
Showing everything we've lost.
And i forget how it ever got this far,
Those nights are never far enough away from me.
Last night the wind became my voice,
But you did all the dreaming for us both.
Last night i didn't have a choice,
Cause you did all the dreaming for us both.
I can't forget,
The way we held on to our pain,
And tried to dry off in the rain.
When we first met,
And all the times we never had,
Those nights are never far enough away from me.
And i remember how i'd wake up so uncomfortable,
Did anything we ever did make sense?
And how i'd get sometimes knowing you were there with me... now i know i never slept at all.
