lyrics
Only the night can cauterize this wound
Through tired eyes, morning comes too soon
Wake up tied off, shoot up the moon
Our sadness in sync, our sorrow in tune
Something like a dream of an old folk song
Something like a truth that I wanted to be wrong
Something that I must've known all along
Something like a breath that I held too long
I can't sleep
I can't lie
I can't tell
If this is right
Drink of my tears, swallow the sea
Capsized and wrecked, I'm achin' to be
One and the same, Master and Thief
Two if by name; one spells relief
Something like a dream of an old folk song
Something like a truth that I wanted to be wrong
Something that I must've known all along
Something like a breath that I held too long
I can't sleep
I can't lie
I can't tell
If this is right
Through tired eyes, morning comes too soon
Wake up tied off, shoot up the moon
Our sadness in sync, our sorrow in tune
Something like a dream of an old folk song
Something like a truth that I wanted to be wrong
Something that I must've known all along
Something like a breath that I held too long
I can't sleep
I can't lie
I can't tell
If this is right
Drink of my tears, swallow the sea
Capsized and wrecked, I'm achin' to be
One and the same, Master and Thief
Two if by name; one spells relief
Something like a dream of an old folk song
Something like a truth that I wanted to be wrong
Something that I must've known all along
Something like a breath that I held too long
I can't sleep
I can't lie
I can't tell
If this is right
