night owl

Late at night

I roll over again

Retracing every thought

And looking for a way back in

It's an open door with the light escaping

I blame myself for another mistake

And the timelines keep passing by

I slip into a coma

Feel her hand touching my shoulder

Oh, we could go there

When it was perfect

Before I went and broke it

Oh, didn't know at the time

And we could go there

Back down to earth

Or an alternate space where gravity's so much more

The harder it gets, the harder it goes, the marks on the wall

And new shame 'cause I can't let go of it all

Eyes follow a swinging circle

I'm held back by a lack of inertia

Look at what's past the point of not returning

Oh, we could go there

When it was perfect

Before I went and broke it

Oh, didn't know at the time

And we could go there

Drifting too far

Can't see in front of my face anymore

Lines of time keep slipping away

I'm not awake

Oh, we could go there

When it was perfect

Before I went and broke it

Oh, didn't know at the time

Dilated motions

Hard to go on, hard to move one

Stuck on the past, it never lasts
