As If I Hadn't Slept

It's always 3am in your world

So I'm drinking this as if I hadn't slept

Telling stories which tell their stories themselves

You didn't even hear them

I thought to somewhere else

As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying to see

As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying

As long as I go somewhere, you'll still by lying to me

As long as I go somewhere

If you're so sure that you don't need love

Only this is if I hadn't slept

As laughter smiles back in your direction

But you're protected by the smoke from your cigarette

Then you tried

To hold my hand

Under the table

But it's far too vague

To be meaningful

As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying to see

As long as I go somewhere, every night has a hold over me

As long as I go somewhere, you'll still by lying to me

As long as I go somewhere

And you held me like I was a shadow

But completely without any mystery

And you compared me to a shadow

Which in itself is some kind of victory
