| 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 |
