Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't be sad in the middle
Whole life and no time to mourn
Watch it die in the mirror
Hold tight, it won't be long
[PreChorus]
Feel as your eyes get heavy
From lookin' at what you want
Need something to break the levee
The overflow in my heart
[Chorus]
Now I don't wanna close my eyes
See everythin' I ever done
I never got to say goodbye
I won't look back until it's gone
Everything that I try to bury
And all the little deaths that set me off
I can't close my eyes, say
Close my eyes
[Verse 2]
Romanticise a dark city
You can't find the light in the sun
If I don't feel the same, please forgive me
You have arrived with no time to run
[PreChorus]
Quiet, desperate
All the people hidin'
In your garden, cryin'
Where is the time I lost?
[Chorus]
Now, I don't wanna close my eyes
See everythin' I ever done
I never got to say goodbye
I won't look back until it's gone
Everything that I try to bury
And all the little deaths that set me off
I can't close my eyes, c'mon
Close my eyes
That's right
[Outro]
All together
Quiet, desperate
All the people hidin'
In your garden, cryin'
Where is the time I lost?
Quiet, desperate
All the people hidin'
In your garden, cryin'
Where is the time I lost?
