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
