Lyrics

[00:00.37] If I wasn't awake I'd be dreaming
[00:06.79] I took too many pills to be sleeping
[00:13.01] And the memory of you keeps on creeping
[00:19.27] Up my slippery spine all this evening
[00:25.47] Take my hand in your hand
[00:28.39] Like we're walking
[00:31.34] On the pebbley sand
[00:34.66] And we're talking
[00:37.73] Drive me up to the coast
[00:41.35] Lay my seabag
[00:44.09] But I'm just in a room with the lights on
[00:56.65] Every minute passes like an hour
[01:02.69] When I'm just in a room
[01:05.90] With the lights on
[01:08.96] And there's no one who knows
[01:12.10] I'm their Icon
[01:15.15] All that keeps me awake
[01:18.20] Is the lights on
[01:21.41] And there's no one who knows
[01:24.24] I'm their Icon
[01:33.54] The first line of the night
[01:36.77] Cuts the deepest
[01:40.59] Then I'm struggling to
[01:43.01] Keep my secrets
[01:46.36] As we order a drink
[01:49.89] That's the cheapest
[01:52.30] If I lend you my kiss
[01:55.46] Please don't keep it
[02:04.68] Every minute passes like an hour
[02:11.02] When I'm just in a room
[02:13.99] With the lights on
[02:17.87] And there's no one who knows
[02:20.31] I'm their icon
[02:23.17] All that keeps me awake
[02:27.10] Is the light time
[02:29.98] And there's no one who knows
[02:33.32] I'm their icon
[02:38.62] Keep the lights on for my sake!
[02:40.84] Keep the lights on for my sake!
[02:44.02] Close my eyes I see your face
[02:47.05] Close my eyes I see your face
[02:50.47] I just keep myself awake
[02:53.33] I just keep myself awake
[02:56.60] I don't want to feel this way
[02:59.90] I don't want to feel this…
[03:02.84] Just in a room with the lights on and there's
[03:07.74] No one who knows I'm their icon
[03:13.07] All that keeps me awake is their lights on
[03:19.49] And there's no one who knows
[03:22.37] I'm their icon!
