Babe, stop talking, it’s time to go to sleep

I rolled over and let my hand feel out your heartbeat

It was much too fast so I breathed in your ear

Hoping that you’d calm down at last

There’s nothing wrong with you

There’s something wrong with me

That’s what everyone’s thinking

You’ve got your fidgety feet

And our cat stalks them like prey

And the image it creates in my head is of you dancing with anxiety

You’re not the only one

Fighting a battle you’ve already won

I know you want to consider it done

But you woke up today

(I woke up today)

At some point you said, “I’m okay enough to do this”

(I’m not okay, but I’ll be there for you)

I’ll be there for you

I close my eyes and I’m back to bed

But I can’t feel unless I’m collectively nervous

I’ve got a hundred million things in my head

That I’d let slip if I could

I cried in the shower to hide that I was weak

Your feelings were more important than I was to me

(A hundred million things I’d let slip if I could)

Get out of bed, get out of your head

You’re not the only one

Fighting a battle you’ve already won

I know you want to consider it done

But you woke up today

(I woke up today)

At some point you said, “I’m okay enough to do this”

(I’m not okay, but I’ll be there for you)

I’ll be there for you

We can try to float each other

But if we’re fighting for a shoulder to lean on

Then we both end up under

I’ll hurry up before you see right through me

I’ll hurry up before I see right through me

We can try to hold each other

But if we’re fighting for a shoulder to lean on

Then we both end up under

I’ll hurry up before you see right through me

I’ll hurry up before I see right through me

Run

What are you running away from, running away from?

Run

What are you running away from?

You’re running away from me
