Well the clock is ticking over, ever nearer to the day |
|
And the body next to me is drifting further and further away |
|
I am het up, overheating, not sleeping, reliving my past mistakes |
|
Maybe it's all imagination |
|
Won't you listen? |
|
I just want to make this work |
|
What is it I'm doing wrong? |
|
And I struggle as I lie |
|
Not to panic, not to cry |
|
Don't turn the tap on, I want to keep it dry |
|
But what do I know? |
|
How do I know what is going on for real inside that head? |
|
So I softly bump myself over to his side of the bed |
|
And he jumps like I've burned him and turns himself over |
|
And I did not hear what he said |
|
Maybe he's dreaming of somebody else |
|
I'm not one to listen to myself but listen here I will |
|
I'd be better off sleeping than weeping and waiting for him to go in for the kill |
|
I don't turn the tap on |
|
I keep it dry |
|
I have no control over what he decides |
|
And he tells me when he wakes |
|
He was dreaming of a place |
|
Full of boxes of chocolates and train-sets and games |
|
Full of toys |
