lyrics

You found me waiting in the station
Reading from The Four Quartets
Looking like someone else’s ride home
Like everybody you have never met
And wish that you had not
Now with the benefit of hindsight
You don’t have to feel so special
Because I’ve been lying to strangers all night long

Please don’t wake me
Maybe I could lose myself today
If I stay or if I leave it’s going to be
For all of the wrong reasons
This apartment is freezing
Now that I’ve spent every last dollar trying to buy more time
To sleep off the afterthoughts
And hold out for at least another season

All those ardent lines you sent me
And could not retract in time
Felt like the one before the one too many
I’d give anything to get you to let me fall behind
The “Keep off the grass” signs
And the well-worn greeting card doggerel
Be my Easter egg, my April fool
But I’ll always be my own valentine

Please don’t wake me
Maybe I could lose myself today
If I stay or if I leave it’s going to be
For all of the wrong reasons
This apartment is freezing
Now that I’ve spent every last dollar trying to buy more time
To sleep off the afterthoughts
And hold out for at least another season

Now I walk along the lakeshore
With the lonely jagged rocks
Still not knowing what I came for
I built a barricade of styrofoam and boxes
If you try to reach me at my new address
I’ve got to disappear discreetly
Anything but maintain or feign interest
