Mourning Tonight

I was never told about it

I never stole the truth from you

How was I to feel with the memories

Dead grass and the mourning gloom

Pages for words and a mind to write

How am I gonna sleep tonight

Heels drag along the pavement

Summer whispers in my ears

Treasure is buried somewhere

Somewhere far away from here

Put your hands around my heart and squeeze tight

How am I gonna sleep tonight

Ooooh ooooh

Playground hand blisters

The suns burning my winter cheeks

High school nightmares

Sticks and stones that made me weak

Love is on the edge, love is a fight

How am I gonna sleep tonight

Oooh oooh

Dust on the mantle

Screen door quietly creaks

Something big on the horizon

Handle me carefully

Love is on the edge, love is a fight

How am I gonna sleep tonight

Put your hands around my heart and squeeze tight

How am I gonna sleep tonight
