I know it feels like we're sinking
Or drifting out at sea
East coast city lights are fading
But my heart beats underneath
Though I'll beg you to turn the light off
You're mind'll stay your hand
Take a break when you've had enough
By the time you've forgotten how to stand
Oh please
Trust you know when to breathe
And when to speak
Oh please
Untie the knots round your ankles
That drag you out to sea
Cause I know you're saying "when"
Madison
I dreamt of waking up in your bed
So hard to tell when it's a dream
Watched the sunrise in the northwest
Or if it's unfamiliar memories
You're scared we're only passing shadows
On a summertime city street
But you're a raindrop on my window
With all your colors buried deep
Oh please
Trust that the words I speak
Are there to help you breathe
Oh please
Stitch up my hands and let my feel you
When you're sleeping next to me
Cause you know I'm saying "when"
Madison
You know I'm saying "when," I know you're saying "when"
Madison
