asleep and dreaming next to me

We're lost without

the formula for comfort we've invested in

Time flies like a ghost,

like ribbons of smoke floating weightless and blue

in this room, where there's to remind me

of me without you



Put your hands where I can see

Somethin' doesn't feel right,

like you're feeding me a line

'Cause I swear I've heard this somewhere before

I'll swallow every word between your lips,

but if you're just lying through your teeth

then maybe you're right and we knew it all along

And we're better off alone



The bands of light of the morning

through the blinds are there

to wake me when

I could never miss you more than when

the sheets are cold beside me

(and those quiet nights behind me)



Put your hands where I can see

It's fair to say

my better days have got the best of me



Somethin' doesn't feel right,

like you're feeding me a line

'Cause I swear I've heard this somewhere before

I'll swallow every word between your lips,

but if you're just lying through your teeth

then maybe you're right and we knew it all along

And we're better off alone
