It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do,
To try and keep from calling you.
Well, can my dreams keep coming true?
How can they? ‘Cause when I sleep,
I barely dream of you.
As if the dream of you, it sleeps too,
But it never slips away,
It just gains its strength and digs its hooks,
To drag me through the day.
And I’m caught,
I forget all that I’ve been taught,
I can’t keep calm, I can’t keep still,
Pulled apart against my will.
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to prove,
You turned to salt as I turned around to look at you.
Old friends have said, the books I've read
Say it's the thing to do
But it’s hard to see it,
When you’re in it,
‘Cause I went blind for you.
Then you leave my head,
Crawl out the bed,
Subconscious, I'm upset.
And for those hours,
Deep in the dark,
Perhaps you don’t exist.
But I’m caught,
I forget all that I’ve been taught,
I can’t keep calm, I can’t keep still,
Pulled apart against my will.
And I was thrashing on the line,
Somewhere between desperate and divine.
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still,
Persephone will have her fill.
And I’m caught,
I forget all that I’ve been taught,
I can’t keep calm, I can’t keep still,
Pulled apart against my will.
And I’m caught,
I forget all that I’ve been taught,
I can’t keep calm, I can’t keep still,
Pulled apart against my will.
