A Lifetime

Lyrics

Spent a lifetime catching words out of the air for you
Spend the nighttime in the cold nearly frozen through
Never knew just what you wanted, never knew if that was true
Reading tombstones, trying to find someone worth talking to

I so want to touch you in your diamonds and curls
I wish there was a way to bring you back to this world
Your skin blinding white, the warmth in your sigh
Your head on my shoulder just breathing

Chorus
I’m sleeping in the graveyard tonight
Asleep until come the morning light
Stay because I’m trying to find if I might
Warm your cold body lyin’ close to mine

Another year slides by in the wink of an eye
A hundred years is gone in a flash
We’re still fighting the war to end all of these wars
Haven’t made too much progress with that

Break on verse

There’s a million ways for us to die
I think all of them come as quite a surprise
I want to believe that you found a new life
So that someday I’ll be back at your side

Chorus
I’m sleeping in the graveyard tonight
Asleep until come the morning light
Stay because I’m trying to find if I might
Hear the wind speak the ghost of your sigh
Stay because I’m trying to find if I might
Feel your warm body lie next to mine
