lyrics

Oh the night sky, opened its arms to me,
Yeah it pulled me inside and it let me exactly who I needed to be,
Cuz when it’s that dark and so quiet outside, I feel like the person alive,
But you dance through my head like reruns on TV,
To flaunt that you’ll air so much longer than me,
Damn, maybe I should start eating right.

O, I dreamed you were a neuron,
O, and I orbited you like a moron

And I’m not your bower bird trying to impress you,
Dragging those trinkets back to the nest for you,
I stuff ‘em into an envelope, and I throw them away,
Then I fish ‘em back out ‘cuz those things are important,
The seas are receding, the world’s getting darker without you,
Or maybe, you’re still here too,
‘Cuz I need to remember the world don’t revolve,
Around individuals or idiot hearts,
But somebody told my grandma on Christmas,
That this all came from you

O, I dreamed I was a dead king,
O, all my subjects dissolved into nothing

O, I dreamt that I was double spaces,
O, I had nothing to add to the paper,
O, and I dreamt that I was an asshole,
O, but I guess that’s not far from the real world
