Lyrics
Can I wake up from this nightmare that I'm in
Expressing a desire to escape from a distressing situation or experience.
Fall asleep to pass some time while the world still spins
Using sleep as a temporary escape from the challenges of life while the world continues its normal course.
Masquerade the love I have to break even
Hiding the love in order to achieve a balance or break even in a relationship.
Still not sure how to survive this common end
Uncertainty about how to survive a shared difficult circumstance.
To contrive my lines of further sentiment
Intending to fabricate additional expressions of emotion.
And ill keep saying "it's alright" to numb the negligence
Using reassurance to numb the emotional neglect or indifference.
Try and pick up the pieces still caught in the feeling
Attempting to recover and make sense of the emotional fragments.
Your shadow is lingering
The lingering presence or influence of the past.
You still melt my heart when we speak
The enduring impact of the other person's words on the speaker's emotions.
I can still feel your smile and all the time between the sheets
Recalling intimate moments and shared experiences.
We're wasted I'm sure now that you found your way out
Realization that the relationship is wasted or over, despite uncertainties.
But I still hear you talking in your sleep
Continued emotional connection as the person talks in their sleep.
Still I'm conjuring these memories like the dead
Trying to summon memories that seem lifeless or inactive.
They replay the days when I could still leave my bed
Reliving past days when getting out of bed was easier.
Trying hard to learn to cope on a misplaced head
Struggling to adapt and cope with a confused or disoriented mind.
Still my soul it aches for you once again
Enduring emotional pain and longing for the person once more.
Now in time I've learned that wounds don't
Recognition that wounds and emotional scars may not heal easily.
Seem to really mend
Acknowledging feelings of constant dread, whether related to lust or love.
Filled up with lust or love
The enduring impact of the other person's words on the speaker's emotions.
I'm in constant dread
Recalling intimate moments and shared experiences.
You still melt my heart when we speak
Realization that the relationship is wasted or over, despite uncertainties.
I can still feel your smile and all the time between the sheets
Continued emotional connection as the person talks in their sleep.
We're wasted I'm sure now that you found your way out
The enduring impact of the other person's words on the speaker's emotions.
But I still hear you talking in your sleep
Emphasizing that the connection persists through the act of talking in sleep.
So why did you leave stealing time like a thief
Questioning the reason for the other person's departure and the time taken away.
I just wanted to be the damn love that you need
Expressing a desire to be the love that the other person needed.
Recollect myself to humble precedence
Reflecting on personal growth and returning to a humble state of mind.
But with creeping time I'll think of you
Contemplating the memories and experiences shared with the other person.
And where we went with this
The enduring impact of the other person's words on the speaker's emotions.
You still melt my heart when we speak
Recalling intimate moments and shared experiences.
I can still feel your smile and all the time between the sheets
Realization that the relationship is wasted or over, despite uncertainties.
We're wasted I'm sure now that you found your way out
Continued emotional connection as the person talks in their sleep.
But I still hear you talking in your sleep
Emphasizing that the connection persists through the act of talking in sleep.
