Verse 1
If it wasn’t for you
I wouldn’t get any sleep
Because you’re scared of the dark
And i guess i’ll do my part
Those late night drives
Past resting stations
Filled with memories and desperate hallucinations
I refuse to let you drive, because the blue and red lights
Paint you in a beauty that i don’t deserve to see
Perfection in the passenger seat
Pre-chorus
Everything i do is meant for you
And i won’t rest till the stress has left your bones
Or at least…
At least not until we’re home
Chorus
And i saw us holding flowers in may
I’ve never wanted so badly to stay asleep
You were the best bet
I could’ve taken
From san diego
To here
I can almost say i got something…
Verse 2
You take off all your clothes
And you turn off all the lights
Cause you’re pure and you’re small
And you’re shy
We fell asleep on the floor
And i don’t remember why
But i’ll build a castle around you
At least i can promise that i’ll try
And what happened to your amulet?
The one you took when you gave me mine
’cause i carry it this with me nearly all of the time
And you told me that you loved me
I saw it in your silhouette
The light shines bright behind you
I saw you doing pirouettes
Pre-chorus
And i’m gonna carry you
To somewhere near the mountains
Somewhere we ain’t ever been before
Under the branches
Or maybe…
…maybe on the snow
Chorus
And i saw us holding flowers in may
I’ve never wanted so badly to stay asleep
You were the best bet
I could’ve taken
From san diego
To here
I can almost say that i got something right
Bridge
I hope you know the reasons i still write these things
In my mind i see us exchanging rings
And vows…
You in your wedding gown
We’re hung from a string just as fickle as our faith on each other
And it stung just to think of the trickle of pain and bother
This isn’t to say that you’re not worth my time
Or my dearthful fight
You still warm my life
And henceforth, you’re mine…
…and i’m yours
Everything you do has brought me closer to a time
Where i can sleep a full night soundly and claim this life as mine
You pulled me to the bottom of the ocean and gave me light
My body gave in under pressure but i kept going out of spite
Because everything i do is done in anxiety
And i wish that you knew when you say “you look fine to me”
That the thoughts of you gone are coiled inside of me
And someday these things will cost me my sanity
…someday these things will cost me my sanity x3
…my sanity!
Chorus
And i saw us holding flowers in may
I’ve never wanted so badly to stay asleep
You were the best bet
I could’ve taken
From san diego
To here…
To here!
I can almost say that i got something…
I can almost say that i’ve got something right!
