Sawteeth

Wakin' up in a cold sweat
I can tell my socks are wet
It is real, it's in my head
I'm not leaving bed just yet

It is Sunday afternoon
It is reckless spring and swoon
I could drink away the moon
Instead, I'll open up the wound

And I have any idea what it shouldn't be
People around me, they get sawteeth
And I can find the time to drink coffee
I don't remember when, but it dawned on me

In the summer, endless light
In the milky morning light
Hold your hands up to my chest
As the night is fading west

Well, I have lost her in Charlotte
And I have years to feel regret
Overdose on retrospect
She is my freezing cold night sweat

And I have any idea what it shouldn't be
People around me, they get sawteeth
And I can find the time to drink coffee
I don't remember when, but it dawned on me

And it could be the shade of leaves on trees
Or it can be the sun, the stars, your knees
And it could be the rice that's too sticky
To me it's just a song to say how much you meant to me

And I have any idea what it shouldn't be
People around me, they get sawteeth
And I can find the time to drink coffee
I don't remember when, but it dawned on me

And it could be the shade of leaves on trees
Or it can be the sun, the stars, your knees
And it could be the rice that's too sticky
For me it's just a song to say how much you meant to me
