Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's okay in the day, I'm staying busy

Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder, "Where is he?"

Got so sick of crying, so just lately

When I catch myself, I do a 180

I stay up, clean the house, at least I'm not drinking

Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking

That silent sense of content that everyone gets

Just disappears soon as the sun sets

[Chorus]

It gets fierce in my dreams, seizing my guts

He floods me with dread

Soaked in sorrow, he swims in my eyes by the bed

Pour myself over him, moon spilling in

And I wake up alone

[Verse 2]

Far as my heart, I'd rather be restless

Second I stop, the sleep catches up, and I'm breathless

There's this ache in my chest 'cause my day is done now

The dark covers me, and I cannot run now

My blood running cold, I stand before him (Before him, I)

It's all I can do to assure him (Assure him)

When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight

Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light (Under blue)

[Chorus]

It gets fierce in my dreams, seizing my guts

He floods me with dread

Soaked in sorrow, he swims in my eyes by the bed

Pour myself over him, moon spilling in

[Outro]

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone
