The Melancholy Astronomer - Dreaming With Both Eyes Open Lyrics

Pack your bags
You're leaving
Don't forget to ignore me
While everyone is sleeping
You stumble up the stairs
And you climb the slope
You place your neck
On the iron slate

The only birds who call your name
Have just awoken
And they say get up
Walk down to the river
So you get up
And you sing your favourite song on the way
And you sit the bank
And you slide down
'Cause you can't walk straight right now
And you take a sip
And you wash your hands
Just like the birds told you
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you try
And you, you still can't make it
And you remember what those birds told you
So you make your way back home
And they say
"What the hell were you thinking?
Look what you've done"
I should have kept my mouth shut
I shouldn't have said a thing
"Look I'm sorry"
And they say that you're just in a state
Friend, that's the last thing I wanted you to say right now
Because you're the only thing I can rely on
You're the only thing I can rely on
And you're letting me down
And I need you
