In a Win, Win Situation

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] So I'll pray For words to say To make these miles disappear If you can't sleep alone I'm better off, I'm better off If you can't sleep alone [Verse 2] If we'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 Not Valium or slow songs to Relax my view, just you Maybe your new perfume [Chorus] So I'll pray For words to say To make these miles disappear If you can't sleep alone I'm better off, I'm better off If you can't hear the song Then turn it off, then turn it off If you cast the first stone Then throw them all Then throw them all [Bridge] 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 Again, again, again [Outro] And I'll stay here You’ll be gone for another year The plans that I’ve made Have fallen on deaf ears And I’m beside myself now that you have gone I’m beside myself now that you have gone
