lyrics
Your side of the bed
Perfect indentation
Heavy from your frame
From the dreams inside your head
Lying next to me
A different expectation
A thousand miles away
From me, on the other side
I can’t close my eyes
You can’t see my side
You’ll sleep, keeping the peace
And I’ll be right here, ready to fight
You fall, you fall
Farther away from me
You’ll sleep keeping the peace
And I will wait here, ready to fight
You wait it out from your side
You fall
You fall
You fall
Farther and farther and
You fall
You fall
Farther away from me
You’ll sleep, keeping the peace
And I’ll be right here, ready to fight
You fall, you fall
Farther away from me
You’ll sleep keeping the peace
And I will wait here, ready to fight
You wait it out …
Your side of the bed
Different expectations
A thousand miles away
From me, on the other side
