In a Win, Win Situation

I've noticed your design

Cause I'm not blind

I'm like a cigarette

Burning burning every night

But there's no ash that falls

There's only telephone calls in the afternoon

Stretching through a thousand walls

So I'll pray

For words to say

To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone (If you can't sleep alone)

I'm better off

I'm better off

If you can't sleep alone

If you're measuring with time

In seconds or in lifetimes

There's no difference

It's constantly just passing by

But there's nothing at all

No valium or slow songs

To relax my view

Just you, maybe your new perfume

So I'll pray

For words to say

To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone (if you can't sleep alone)

I'm better off

I'm better off

If you can't hear the song (if you can't hear the song)

Then turn it off

Then turn if off

If you cast that first stone

Then throw them all

Then throw them all

I start to sleep but it's not over

The second hand is moving slower now

I'd take it all back

To start over again

Just between the rock and paper

The scissors cut in so much deeper

I'd take it all back

To start over again

And I'll stay here

You'll be gone for another year

Plans that I've made are falling on deaf ears

I'm beside myself now that you have gone

I'm beside myself now that you have gone
