I stay up every sleeping hour
Pulling the flowers from your face
Consider me gone until I leave
Pretending to understand makes you tired and lonely
All I want is to hear you sing- but I cut my ears and sold them for vanity
I try to choose my words carefully- I don’t want to end up lost in the morning

Please understand that I don’t have any experience in being me
Last night I think I said too much, I can tell by the hesitation in your dreams
i stay up every dreaming hour tasting the night as it sinks in deep
Every whisper and every laugh when you look at me


I’m dreaming of tomorrow and all it can be but I know that you’re not like me
But consider me gone as I dream
I try to choose my words carefully in the hope you find me tonight

Please understand I don’t have any intention of being me
Please understand I never had any intention of giving you lost treasures
I cherish and ponder why you believed in me
Consider me gone until I leave and you can sleep when I’m dead
